Kootenai County is already off to a new lucky lottery streak in 2012.

Or the one from 2011 hasn't ended.

A jackpot-winning ticket worth $52,000 after taxes in the Weekly Grand game for Saturday night's draw was sold at a retailer in Kootenai County, said David Workman, Idaho Lottery spokesman.

"Kootenai County is starting the new year off where it left off (in 2011)," Workman said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, no one had contacted the lottery to claim the prize.

The winning numbers were: 1, 4, 15, 17, 32. The winning ticket matched the five numbers out of a pool of 32 numbers.

The winner must travel to Boise to lottery headquarters to claim the prize. Workman said he doesn't know which retail location the ticket was sold at.

It is the first time a jackpot-winning Weekly Grand ticket was sold in North Idaho and the third overall since the draw game started in August.

The winner will be sent a $1,000 check for each week for a year.

"When a person wins, we pay the taxes on the prize," Workman said.

The prize before taxes are taken out is $77,380.

Weekly Grand is played similar to other draw games such as Powerball and Mega Millions, except there is no mega ball or power ball. Tickets are $2 each and it is an Idaho-only game.

Players can select their own numbers or ask for a quick pick. Drawings are held on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

Lottery luck struck in Kootenai County in 2011 when Holly Lahti - who was 29 at the time, living in Rathdrum and a mother of two - in January split the second-largest lottery jackpot in United States history, worth $380 million, with a man from Ephrata, Wash.
