Idaho Powerball is a bit different to most other states, as the Power Play option is automatically included. The Idaho Lottery has paid out $2.2 billion in prizes since 1989, the largest of which was to a Powerball player who won $220 million in 2005. More than $1 billion has also been raised to benefit the state’s public schools, colleges and universities. View the Idaho Powerball numbers below.
The total prize fund paid out to Idaho winners from Wednesday's Powerball drawing was $36,724. However, in the past five draws the state has had an average prize fund of $25,637 per draw, which means the fund for the latest one was about 43.25% higher than average.

To play Powerball in Idaho, select five main numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball between 1 and 26, or opt for a Quick Pick if you would prefer to enter a random line. The following rules are also specific to the Gem State.
You can watch the drawings on the following TV stations, depending on where you are in Idaho.
| City | Station | Affiliate | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|

To claim a prize of up to $599, just go to any licensed lottery retailer in Idaho or submit a claim by mail. If you win a larger prize, you can still submit your claim by mail or visit the Idaho Lottery headquarters.
If you are mailing your claim, you will need to send in your signed winning ticket, along with a claim form and a copy of your driver’s license or government-issued photo ID. You should also make a photocopy of the claim form and winning ticket and keep them for your records. Submit your claim to the following address:
Idaho Lottery
P.O. Box 8687
Boise, ID 83707
The location of the Idaho Lottery headquarters, where you can claim prizes of $600 or more in person, is as follows:
Idaho Lottery
1199 Shoreline Lane
Suite 100
Boise, ID 83702
If you play in a lottery pool, you will all receive checks for your portion of the money, with the required amount of tax withheld from each member. You will all have to fill out individual W-2G forms regarding your tax liability. Each individual must fill out a claim form and state what percentage of the prize they are claiming.
You have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim your Powerball prize, otherwise the money will be transferred to the dividend fund. If you win the jackpot, you can take up to 60 days from the date you come forward to decide whether you want to accept the annuity or the lump sum payment.
Your Powerball ticket is the only proof that you have played the game so you have no grounds to make a claim if you lose it. You should print your name on the ticket and sign it to prevent anyone else from being able to make a claim. You are also unlikely to be able to claim a prize with a damaged ticket, as it must meet a series of validation requirements to check that it is still intact, legible and has not been altered in any way.
You cannot stay anonymous if you win a large Powerball prize in Idaho. Your name, city, county, state of residence and prize amount will be made public, while your photograph may also be used for promotional purposes.
The majority of the revenue, 67 percent, is used to pay Powerball prizes, while retailers receive a six percent commission for the tickets they sell. There are a number of smaller costs, including program operations and game support (four percent), administration (two percent) and marketing communications (one percent). The Idaho Lottery’s primary mission is to give back to the people of the state, so 20 percent is set aside for the annual dividend.
Half of the dividend is given to public schools, with funds spread out to different districts to buy new equipment or help with essential maintenance or repairs. The other 50 percent goes to the Permanent Building Fund, which provides financial support for Idaho's colleges and universities.
Brad Duke, from the city of Star in northwest Idaho, set the record for the biggest Powerball win in the state when he claimed $220 million on Memorial Day weekend in May 2005. A regional fitness director, Brad bought his ticket at Jackson’s Food Mart in Boise and didn’t even think about the results until a friend mentioned later that someone in the area had won the jackpot. He asked for his ticket to be checked when he stopped for fuel at Stinker Station and the surveillance footage from the store which later played on the local news showed two female employees jumping up and down in excitement.
Brad retreated to his truck to phone his dad, unsure if he had even paid for his fuel. When he eventually came forward, Brad decided to take the one-time payment of $125 million. He said he wanted to buy a new car, take a trip with friends, buy a new bike and maybe build a house in Boise. However, he added that he would avoid making too many large purchases as he wanted to create a billion-dollar empire to better take care of his family.
