A fortunate ldaho guy wins $445,000 recently in a lottery game

One lucky lottery player has turned a trip to a Kootenai County retail location into $445,000 in winnings, extending north Idaho's streak of success.

The Idaho Lottery on Wednesday announced a winning 5 Star Draw ticket was sold in the county ahead of Tuesday night's draw.
