Boise resident Lora-Lee Casady spent New Year's in New York City for a VIP trip where she had a chance to become the first millionaire of 2024.
Casady was one of nearly 70 thousand Idaho entrants who entered the contest. The lucky Idaho Powerball player was one of 5 nationwide finalists participating in the New Year's event.
By the end of the celebrations in Times Square, one of them was a millionaire.
As a finalist, Casady got to enjoy a VIP trip to New York City, including hotel accommodations, airfare, meals and a VIP experience at Times Square for New Year's Eve.
Though it would be Pamela Bradshaw from Clinton North Carolina who took home the million-dollar prize, Casady was still excited to enjoy the celebrations in New York City.
