Hot Lotto (15 Lotteries)
Hot Lotto is available through 15 of the original 33 MUSL lotteries, including Idaho's. Hot Lotto also is drawn Wednesdays and Saturdays. The game draws five white numbers from 1 through 39, and an orange "Hot Ball", numbered 1 through 19. Hot Lotto 's minimum jackpot is $1 million (annuity), increasing by at least $50,000 for each rollover. Winners choose either cash or a 25-year annuity stream, although an Idaho Lottery winner of Hot Lotto who desires the cash option must make the choice within 30 days of the drawing.
Hot Lotto 's regular plays are $1 each; a game with the Sizzler option costs $2. The Sizzler, if activated, triples all prizes except for the jackpot.
Hot Lotto began in 2002; Idaho joined in 2007. The only change to the game was in 2008 when the Sizzler option was added. Idaho, however, did not immediately offer the option, due to litigation involving the Sizzler steakhouse chain over the name.

Famous quotes containing the word hot:
“One ... aspect of the case for World War II is that while it was still a shooting affair it taught us survivors a great deal about daily living which is valuable to us now that it is, ethically at least, a question of cold weapons and hot words.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
