Interested vendors should indicate if they can deliver tickets from the Idaho Lottery warehouse in Boise, Idaho, to shipping depots located for service in northern and eastern Idaho, from shipping depots and/or warehouse to retail locations located throughout the state of Idaho, or both.

“As a responsible government agency, we continually examine the way we do business.
