Known for its limited tickets and life-changing prizes, this lottery sells out fast: so fast that if you blink, you might miss out. We’ve got all the details on how to grab your chance at $1 million.

Why Montana Millionaire Is a Big Deal

Montana Millionaire is the state’s only lottery game that guarantees at least one new millionaire each year.

With only 500,000 tickets available this year, the odds of winning the jackpot are far better than your average Powerball. Last year, tickets sold out in record time, leaving many hopefuls empty-handed.

Want us to give you some advice? Don’t wait. This year could be your shot, you never know...

Key Dates to Remember

Mark your calendar for November 1, 2024, because that’s when tickets officially go on sale.

But here’s the kicker: last year, these tickets were gone within a few mere weeks. Available at most Montana Lottery retailers, each ticket costs $20.

With only a limited number in circulation, your best bet is to act fast to avoid disappointment.

How to Play and What You Could Win

For a $20 ticket, you’re in the running for some seriously impressive prizes:

- x4 Jackpot: $1 million for 4 different winners

Bonus Drawings: Additional cash prizes throughout the holiday season

Additional Prizes: New this year, extra $5,000 and $100,000 prizes make it even more enticing.

The grand drawing will take place on December 29, 2024, just in time to ring in the new year with an unforgettable win.

What Are the Odds?

With only 500,000 tickets, your odds of becoming a millionaire are much better than with national lotteries.

While your exact chances will depend on how many tickets are sold before the final drawing, this lottery is known for its smaller pool of competitors, giving Montanans a unique opportunity to win big.

0.0008% is the exact percentage of your chance to win, but that's better than most state lotteries, where chances of winning averages at around 0.0000003%.

Both are admittedly minimal, but the better odds found with Montana Millionaire is perhaps more justified with its $20 price tag.

Where to Buy Your Ticket

Tickets will be available at most Montana Lottery retailers across the state, from local grocery stores to gas stations.

Be sure to check the list of participating retailers on the Montana Lottery website to find the most convenient location.

In the End...

The Montana Millionaire lottery is the ultimate holiday ticket to dream big. Whether you’ve played every year or are a first-timer, this could be your chance to end 2024 with a bang.

Set a reminder, and don’t let the opportunity pass you by, because the $1 million could be yours.
