BOISE – Sam King has always enjoyed playing Slingo scratch games, but he’s recently acquired a new appreciation for the game – now that one Cyber Slingo ticket he scratched was a $25,000 winner!

Sam and his wife took ten tickets home and each scratched five. Sam felt he had the winner as soon as he started scratching, and when he realized he truly did have a big prize he and his wife were ecstatic, jumped up and down and called all their friends. The kings plan to “be practical,” Sam said. But added that they will put $6,000 aside for fun.

The ticket was purchased at On the Fly in Boise.

Players must be at least 18 to buy, sell or redeem Powerball tickets. Remember to play responsibly. The Idaho Lottery benefiting Idaho public schools and buildings.
