IDAHO LOTTERY PLAYER CLAIMS $29,000 BINGO TOP PRIZE! 

BOISE – Ken McAtee always plays $3 Lottery tickets. In fact, he has only played Cashword games, but when he went to the store and no Cashword tickets were left, he decided to buy Bingo. It was the last Bingo card in the store and it turned out to be pretty lucky because that last Bingo ticket yielded him a top prize of $29,000! 

With his prize, McAtee says he’ll pay off bills and maybe put some money away.  

The ticket was purchased at Sunset Mart in Lewiston. 

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.
