Robert Bevan, an Idaho man, has been reported in recent outlets as having won the Idaho Lottery 18 times, with his latest $50,000 prize noted in mid-May 2026. He attributes his streak more to luck and to sharing tickets with his wife than to any secret strategy. Please note that coverage varies by outlet, but the core detail repeatedly cited is that his wins date back to 1997 and that his ongoing wins have become a human-interest story about partnership and 40 years of marriage.[1][2][6]
Key points from coverage
- Longevity of wins: Bevan’s first known win occurred in 1997 (a Chevrolet Blazer) and he has since accumulated many smaller prizes and several larger ones, including up to $200,000 in a single prize.[2][1]
- Latest notable win: The most recent reported prize mentioned is $50,000 from a King Scratch Game, bringing his career total to 18 wins.[1][2]
- Personal angle: He emphasizes his long marriage as his real luck—and many articles highlight that he and his wife have been buying tickets together for years, framing the story around partnership rather than wealth.[6][2]
If you’d like, I can summarize or compare how different outlets presented this story (tone, emphasis, dates) or pull the latest local coverage from Idaho to verify any updates beyond May 2026. I can also look up a brief timeline of his notable wins and craft a quick infographic-style summary.
