“It all comes down to trust. Trust, faith, and integrity in the system by those who use it. Mailing in winning Idaho Lottery tickets is a common practice for many players who live in northern Idaho. The Idaho Lottery, though had never received a ticket worth $1,000,000 through the US Postal Service until last week when a regular player from Sandpoint did what he's done every other month for many years - mail in a batch of winning tickets, both Scratch and Draw Games, for payment.
“Randy Branum is Idaho's newest millionaire. The long-time Sandpoint resident claimed the $1,000,000 winning Powerball ticket from the September 23, 2015 draw via the US mail. He received his actual winning check, along with the large oversized souvenir check, from the Idaho Lottery during a press event at the Waterfront Express Conoco in Sandpoint where he purchased his ticket.
"’I usually wait a month or two, sign all the tickets I have, and then mail them in,’ explained Branum, a retired contractor who usually checks carefully for winners. ‘This time I had two or three tickets left and just signed them and sent them off. I figured there might be some $7 winners in there.’
“When the package arrived at the Idaho Lottery, the tickets were verified for winners by Idaho Lottery Security. That's when they discovered the $1,000,000 winning ticket from back in September signed by Branum. The Idaho Lottery immediately contacted Branum.”
