Idaho Lottery Draw Games
The Idaho Lottery offers seven draw games ranging from daily digit picks to multi-state mega-jackpots. Established in 1989, the Idaho Lottery directs its revenue to public schools (62.5%) and the Permanent Building Fund (37.5%). Idaho has a 5.3% state tax on lottery winnings. Pick 3 and Pick 4 draw twice daily (Day and Night), while all other games draw in the evening.
Pick 3 (3 digits, 0-9)
Pick 3 is Idaho's classic daily digit game. Choose three digits from 0 to 9 with Day draws at approximately 1:59 PM MT and Night draws at 7:59 PM MT, seven days a week. Play types include Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front Pair, and Back Pair. The twice-daily schedule gives players two chances every day to win.
Pick 4 (4 digits, 0-9)
Pick 4 extends the digit game format to four numbers. Choose four digits from 0 to 9 with Day draws at approximately 1:59 PM MT and Night draws at 7:59 PM MT, seven days a week. Play types mirror Pick 3 with additional box combinations due to the fourth digit.
Idaho Cash (5/45)
