Montana Millionaire
Montana Millionaire is the yearly holiday game with a top prize of $1,000,000 and a limited number of tickets! The drawing is held yearly on January 1st - or as early as December 26th if the game sells out.
The number of tickets that go on sale can vary from year to year (500,000 in 2024) - once they're gone, they're gone! The game has sold out for the last nine years. If it sells out, the drawing is held before January 1st - typically on December 26th.
To play, simply purchase a ticket anywhere Montana Lottery is sold. A ticket equals one play and costs $20. There are no playslips to fill in or numbers to select. Tickets are printed sequentially - the first person who buys a ticket will be number 000001 and the last person who buys a ticket will be number 500000.
The deadline to buy tickets is December 31st at 11:59 pm MT - if there are any tickets left and the draw hasn't taken place yet! If the tickets sell out before then, the draw will take place on Boxing day.
