BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô Ken Smart, Caldwell, is no stranger to finding lucky winning Lottery tickets. Monday, Smart claimed his second, six-figure winning Scratch ticket in the past four years from the Idaho Lottery with a $100,000 winner on the game 50X the Money. His winning ticket was purchased at the Stinker Fuel Center in front of the Albertsons on 24^th Avenue and Cleveland Boulevard in Caldwell.

Nearly four years ago, Smart claimed a $250,000 Scratch ticket prize from the Idaho Lottery. With this recent win, and a few smaller five-figure wins along the way, Smart is now the third luckiest Scratch ticket winner in Idaho.

"Last time I was here, I said I was going to invest in my wife's book and since then it really has taken off," said Smart, whose wife Pam is a local artist with the self-published art book series called Color Me Your Way. The book series is sold nationwide and in several countries.

"I also promised to take her on a cruise to Alaska for the honeymoon we never had. Well, we did," said Smart. "This time, I'm going to pay off a few bills and maybe drive back to Alaska."

For their part in selling the winning ticket, Stinker Stores receives a bonus from the Idaho Lottery of $10,000.
