A large part of Lottery revenue goes into state educational funding.

The Idaho Lottery has extended its contract with Scientific Games and will continue to offer the company’s instant scratch card games to all Idaho players. This comes after Scientific Games products, such as Million Dollar Blowout, positively impacted the state Lottery’s revenue in the 2022 fiscal year.

The Gem State’s lottery will continue to work with Scientific Games on game design and planning. The company’s broader portfolio features 4,000 instant scratch game designs annually and more than 100 licensed brands, including Monopoly, Slingo and The Wizard of Oz.

Idaho Lottery Executive Director Jeff Anderson commented: “We are excited to continue our success with game innovation together and look forward to working with Scientific Games to expand our Idaho Lottery Scratch Game offering and ultimately drive more funding for education in our state.”

Scientific Games is globally certified as a ‘responsible gaming provider’ by the World Lottery Association and helps lotteries promote culpability in their lottery games through its 'Healthy Play' program.

The company provides its retail and digital games, technology and services to 130 lotteries in 50 countries across the world – including nearly every North American lottery.

The company’s President, Americas and Global Instant Products John Schulz, commented: “We have a strong, innovative partnership with the Idaho Lottery and will continue to deliver high-performing scratch games for the enjoyment of players and the benefit of education in Idaho.”

Lottery gaming is popular in Idaho and it became the 13th state that allows lottery play on the Jackpocket app this September.
