JACKPOT! $614,730 Wild Card Winning Ticket Sold in Boise!

BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô Idaho Lottery has recorded its second Draw GameTM jackpot win of 2011, this time on the Wild Card. The Idaho Lottery has confirmed that one winning ticket worth $614,730 for last night's Wild Card draw matched all five numbers and the wild card. The winning ticket was sold in Boise. The winning numbers were 6, 9, 11, 19, 22 and the wild card was the "Queen of Hearts."

"Idaho continues to be a very lucky place for big winning tickets," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery Director. "We are encouraging everyone who played Wild Card for last night's draw to check their tickets carefully. We are also recommending all our players sign the back of their ticket prior to presenting it for payment. These tickets are bearer instruments and we want to ensure our winners protect their prize."

Wild Card is a draw-style game played only in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. Players select five numbers from 1 to 31 and one of 16 face cards from a standard deck of cards. Players also have the option of selecting a quick pick. The game costs $1 for two plays, or chances, at the jackpot. Jackpots begin at $100,000 and continues to climb until the jackpot is won. To win the jackpot, players must match all five numbers and the wild card.

Including the Wild Card jackpot winner, there were a total of 5,300 winners that claimed a total of $622,647.

"Wild Card is a great game for players to play and win in Idaho," added Anderson. "This game always has lots of prize winners each draw. We've been fortunate that many of this game's top winners, including the all-time, largest winner on Wild Card, have come from the Gem State."
