Idaho Lottery Joins America250 in Idaho Celebration with Patriotic New Scratch Game

BOISE, Idaho – As Americans prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States, the Idaho Lottery is proudly joining the festivities with a star-spangled game to honor this historic milestone.

The Idaho Lottery today unveiled its limited-edition America250 in Idaho Scratch Game—a patriotic, stars-and-stripes themed game offering players the chance to win up to $25,000 while celebrating America’s semiquincentennial.

Launching just in time for Memorial Day weekend, this special $5 Scratch Game was created in partnership with the America250 in Idaho Task Force as part of the statewide celebration leading up to the nation’s 250th birthday.

“America250 is a consequential and historic milestone for our nation, and for Idahoans to take part in this once-in-lifetime celebration is truly special,” said Andrew Arulanandam, Idaho Lottery Director. “The Idaho Lottery is honored to help commemorate America’s 250th anniversary with this special patriotic Scratch Game.”

Wrapped in bold red, white, and blue, the America250 in Idaho Scratch Game is designed as a collectible tribute to this extraordinary chapter in American history. In addition to its patriotic design, players can win numerous $25 and $250 prizes, along with two top prizes of $25,000.

The America250 in Idaho Scratch Game is available at Idaho Lottery retail locations statewide wherever Idaho Lottery products are sold.
