The Idaho Lottery offers players opportunities to win prizes beyond the initial drawing through a secondary chance program. This system often involves entering non-winning tickets, or codes from those tickets, into a separate drawing. An application, accessible via mobile devices, may facilitate this process by allowing users to scan ticket codes and submit them for these additional opportunities to win.
The availability of a second chance drawing through an app can enhance player engagement and provides added value to lottery ticket purchases. It can also potentially increase ticket sales and overall revenue for the lottery. Historically, lotteries have used second-chance drawings as a tool to sustain player interest between major jackpot events.
