FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BOISE, Idaho - An Idaho Falls man has claimed the second top prize of a Ford F-150 Tremor from the Idaho Lottery Scratch game Bucks n' Trucks. Joshua Hatfield, a farmer from Idaho Falls, bought the lucky winning ticket from the Super Store in Post Falls.
"I was traveling the state for work and was in north Idaho. I do my research on the Scratch games, especially when games are close to selling out. If there's a Scratch game that looks like it's about to end, I'll stop at places along the way and buy a few at a time," said Hatfield. "I was looking for tickets on the game $200,000 Cash Spectacular. But I also knew that Bucks n' Trucks was close to ending as well. When I saw them, I got a handful."
Bucks n' Trucks was 99.43% sold when Hatfield made his trek to northern Idaho. One of the tickets turned out to be the second top prize of a fully loaded Ford F-150 Tremor and $10,000 cash.
"I have fun playing, trying to find the last tickets on a game, trying to help it get sold out and maybe win, too," added Hatfield.
By claiming the last top prize, Bucks n' Trucks has officially ended. Players have until February 19, 2026, at 11:59 pm MT to enter any non-winning tickets into the Idaho Lottery's VIP Club for a chance to win the third and final Ford F-150 Tremor. The second-chance truck winner will be announced by February 26, 2026 at 3:00 pm MT.
