Dreams do come true — at least for one lucky lottery winner in Idaho.
Three years ago, Janian Haber of Nampa dreamed that “one day” she would win the lottery, according to the Idaho Lottery.
“That day is today,” Harper recently told officials as he claimed his six-figure lottery jackpot.
David Workman, spokesman for the Idaho Lottery, said Harper matched all five numbers in the Tuesday, Feb. 17, Idaho cash drawing to win the $417,100 jackpot.
“Congratulations to Janean on winning the grand prize,” Idaho Lottery Director Andrew Arulanandam said in a press conference on Friday, February 20.
Where can I buy lucky lottery tickets in Idaho?
Haber purchased her winning Idaho cash ticket at Winner’s Corner Game Store (7447 West Emerald St., Suite 130) in Boise.
“After my dream, I read something about people who believed they were going to win, and they did,” Haber said in the release. “I thought I could be one of those people.”
“I always believed, I competed regularly, and here I am” – a big winner! ” added the Nampa resident.
According to Workman, Harper’s $417,100 prize is the second-largest jackpot in Idaho cash lottery game history.
According to Workman, the largest Idaho cash jackpot ever won was $877,800, won in 2025 by an “out-of-state syndicate” Mudspell Pizza, LLC.
What were the winning numbers for Tuesday’s drawing?
The winning numbers for Tuesday’s Idaho cash drawing were 6, 15, 24, 34 and 44, according to the Idaho Lottery.
Officials said Harper planned to spend the winnings on a trip to Las Vegas, but that was “not what people thought.”
“I’ve always wanted to do a ghost adventure and this is what I’m going to do,” Haber told lottery officials.
