$150,000 Makes Family Trip Extra Exciting for Idaho Couple! 

(Boise, ID) If it weren’t for Judy Lemieux’s oldest son, who goes to college at Idaho State University, she may never have walked into a Pocatello convenience store and bought the last of three winning 150 Grand Idaho Lottery scratch tickets. 

Last weekend Judy was making a trip across the state to visit her son at school. She has only on occasion bought the Lottery’s 15th Anniversary scratch ticket, but when she stopped for gas along the route it occurred to her that she should get one in that different part of the state. But there were none left at the first place she stopped, so she continued on with a good gut feeling. At a Maverick down the road she bought the last two in the store and one was the lucky $150,000 winner. 

Judy, with her husband and younger son, came to the Lottery office to claim the prize and said she’s going to invest the money and save it for later. But added that her younger son was expecting a new motorcycle for his birthday. 

Judy bought the winning ticket at Maverick in Pocatello.
