Boisean’s Wild $27,000 Win on $3 Lottery Ticket is Good Fortune! 

BOISE – James Moe arrived in the Lottery offices bright and early today with his winning $3 Wild Cherry Cashword ticket that yielded a top prize of $27,000. 

James scratched the ticket last night and couldn’t believe his luck. “I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me,” he said. “I looked at it three times, my wife looked at it and then she called her friend to come over and look at it.” 

James said he was so excited he hadn’t slept all night. That’s why he was here so early. He also said that he and his wife were planning to use the prize to pay off bills and then buy something fun with which to celebrate. 

The winning ticket was purchased at a Jacksons in Boise.
