LOTTERY PLAYER HAS A HOLLY JOLLY TIME WITH $10,000 SCRATCH TICKET TOP PRIZE! 

BOISE – It’s gonna be ten times the fun this Christmas season for Donald Van Darlin. Van Darlin won $10,000 playing 10 Times the Luck, a $2 scratch ticket from the Idaho Lottery. 

Don says he will buy himself a special gift this year with his winnings, but he’s not yet sure what he wants. Don, who buys scratch tickets to play when he gets home, bought a few 10 Times the Luck and scratched about half. He meant to scratch the other half the next day but forgot. It was a few days later that he remembered he still had some tickets, and it’s a good thing he did because one of those leftovers was the last top prize in the game.  

Don bought the winning ticket at U Save Convenience in Montpelier. 

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.
