$145K lotto winner sold in Kootenai County

Kootenai County has recorded its second jackpot winning ticket of the year, this time on Wild Card.

The Idaho Lottery confirmed that one winning ticket matched all five numbers and the Wild Card for Saturday night's draw. That winning ticket is worth $145,000. 

The winning numbers for last night's draw are 3, 7, 11, 17, 27 and the Wild Card is the Jack of Clubs. This is the second Wild Card jackpot winning ticket sold in Idaho in the last six months. 

"Idaho continues to be a very lucky place for big winning tickets," said Jeff Anderson, Idaho Lottery director. "We are encouraging everyone who played Wild Card for (Saturday) night's draw to check their tickets carefully. We are also recommending all our players sign the back of their ticket prior to presenting them for payment. These tickets are bearer instruments and we want to ensure our winners protect their prize."

Idaho Lottery offices are closed today in observance of the Columbus Day holiday. They will be open for regular hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning Tuesday.

Wild Card is a multi-state game played only in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.  

In the game, players select five numbers from 1 to 31, and a Wild Card which is one face card from a standard deck of cards and that card's suit. When all five numbers and the Wild Card are matched, the player wins the jackpot.
