IDAHO STATE LOTTERY > PRIZES.
Short Summary
This section of the Idaho Statutes governs the payment and distribution of prizes won under the Idaho State Lottery. It states that any prize won under this chapter is not assignable, except in the case of the prize winner’s death, where the prize shall be paid to the estate of the prize winner. The section further explains that a prize may be subject to garnishment and recovery for unpaid taxes, child or spousal support, or public assistance benefits. It also allows for immediate withholding and set-off to collect support delinquency or state taxes owed. The state lottery is required to validate the lottery ticket or share before paying a prize claim. Additionally, the section outlines various circumstances where a prize claim may be denied, such as if the ticket or share is stolen, counterfeit, altered, or not in compliance with the rules and regulations of the state lottery. In case of multiple claimants for a particular prize, the sole remedy is to award each claimant an equal share of the prize.
