High Life — $50 Idaho Scratch Game #1897
As of October 14, 2026, High Life ($50, #1897) still has 2 of 2 $1,000,000 top prizes unclaimed (100% of those printed). It is #3 of 32 Idaho scratch games on our list (games with a top prize still unclaimed first, by the share of their top prizes still unclaimed, then by the better overall odds). Idaho prints its overall odds as 1 in 2.97.
No payout figure, on purpose. Idaho publishes how many of each prize were printed, but how many are left only for prizes of $25 and up. A payout, an expected value or the odds today each need every prize level and how many were printed, so for Idaho we show exactly what its lottery publishes and compute nothing from it. A figure built from part of a table would be wrong, not rough: it is how one state's partial table produced games that appeared to pay back more than they cost. How we treat partial prize tables.
Prizes remaining, as Idaho publishes them
This is a partial prize table. Idaho publishes the top eight prize levels of High Life and how many of each were printed and are left. The levels below are not published, so they are not here. Nothing in this table is an estimate. For the complete prize structure see the game's page on the Idaho Lottery site.
