MALAD, Idaho — It’s not just Idahoans snapping up Powerball tickets in Malad.
Utahns packed the parking lot at the Chevron station just off Idaho State Highway 38’s Exit 13 to buy a Powerball ticket in the hopes of winning a jackpot that had reached $579.9 million Wednesday night.
As soon as one parking stall emptied, it was quickly snatched by another car, most with Utah license plates. Cars, trucks and motorcycles also parked along the street to the east of the station.
