An Idaho Lottery retailer in Kootenai County sold ticket 326200, one of the two winning $1 million tickets in the 2025 Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. The lottery confirmed the Kootenai County sale after the Monday night draw, pairing it with another top-prize ticket sold in Jefferson County.

The winner cannot take the ticket to a local counter and walk away with the money. Idaho Lottery rules require prizes of $1,000 or more to be claimed at the agency’s Boise office at 1199 Shoreline Lane, Suite 100, where office hours run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Claimants are instructed to bring the winning ticket, a photo ID and a completed claim form. For winnings of $600 or more, the lottery also requires the information used for IRS Form W-2G, including the winner’s name, address and Social Security number.

For Kootenai County retailers, a ticket like this is more than a one-night headline. It puts a local lottery stop on the map and adds another high-dollar prize to the county’s recent record of winning tickets. Idaho Lottery locations in Kootenai County also sold a $445,000 5 Star Draw ticket, another reminder that North Idaho stores can land on the winner’s list in games that drive steady counter traffic from players checking numbers and buying new entries.

The broader backdrop is a lottery system that has returned more than $1.4 billion to Idaho since 1989, money generated through ticket sales across the state’s retail network. A single winning ticket in Kootenai County does not just change one player’s finances. It also highlights the local store that sold it and reinforces how often ordinary convenience stops in the county become part of Idaho’s biggest cash games.
