Okay, so maybe someone here in the Treasure Valley didn't win the $758 million - a Massachusettsan scored that prize (dumb) - BUT, there were some pretty big winners in Idaho!!
According to KTVB, there were some big winners in Wednesday night's drawing. The Idaho lottery told KTVB that a "$200,000 ticket was sold in Jerome County, a $50,000 ticket was sold in Canyon County, [...and] a $97,000 Idaho Cash jackpot winning ticket was sold in Ada County."
So check your tickets!!! You have 180 days to claim your prize!
Fun Fact (via CNN Money): You're more likely to be killed by an asteroid (1 in 700K), be struck by lightning while drowing (1 in 183 million) or give birth to quadruplets (1 in 729K), than to pick all six winning numbers (1 in 292 million)
According to KTVB, Powerball ticket sales have raised an estimated $3.3 million for Idaho public schools and the permanent building fund.
