Congrats to Maria Torres Malua - she won $100,000 on the Lucky Jackpot Super Ticket!
'Wooh-hooing' All Weekend! Nampa Couple Claim $100,000 Super Ticket Prize
BOISE, Idaho ÔÇô Friday evening after work, Maria Torres Malua stopped at the Stinker Store #44 on Holly and Lincoln in Nampa to pick-up some 7-Up for her husband who was not feeling well. A regular Idaho Lottery Scratch Game player, Maria purchased some tickets.
"The Lucky Jackpot Super Ticket was new, so I got one of those and a couple of others," explained Maria. "I was so excited about this really big ticket that I didn't even buy the 7-Up which is why I stopped."
Lucky Jackpot Super Ticket is an oversized Scratch Game that features five different games on a single card. Each ticket is $10 and the top prize on the game is $100,000.
Once she arrived home, Maria scratched the ticket and quickly scanned the bar code with the Idaho Lottery's Check-a-Ticket app.
"It makes a 'Wooh-hoo' sound when you win. And that's exactly what it did. But it didn't tell us how much we'd won, only to the Idaho Lottery," explained Maria. "I thought I'd won $10,000."
Maria's husband then looked at the ticket, and realized the couple had won the Lucky Jackpot Super Ticket game's first top prize of $100,000.
"We checked it at a couple of stores, and then scanned it all weekend long," said Maria. "It just kept 'Wooh-hooing' all weekend."
For their part in selling the winning ticket, Stinker receives a bonus of $10,000. Since inception of the Idaho Lottery in 1989, proceeds from Lottery sales at Stinker #44 have contributed over $602,000 to benefit public schools in Canyon County.
