Hayden Couple Wins $1MM Lottery

Idaho’s place as the number one lottery jurisdiction to win a multi-state Draw Game prize over $500,000 continued when Clifford and Helena Jordan became the third one million dollar, or higher, winners from northern Idaho this year. The couple claimed last week’s $1,000,000 Mega Millions prize Monday morning at Idaho Lottery Headquarters after making the 8 hour trek on Sunday from their home in Hayden to Boise. After realizing he had the $1,000,000 Mega Millions winning ticket when he checked his numbers at the Dexco Mini Mart on Government Way in Coeur d’Alene, Clifford Jordan told his wife he felt like taking a drive to Boise. “Not only is it a long drive, but it’s also expensive these days,” said Helena Jordan, laughing.“When he told me he wanted to go to Boise, I just didn’t want to be out the expense. Then he told me he’d won the lottery and I really didn’t believe him”/Idaho Lottery news release. More here.
