Montana Millionaire tickets: going, going...

Last year’s Montana Millionaire tickets, 500,000 in total, sold out in under three hours. Lottery officials said they were surprised by the accelerated sale of tickets given then had increased the total number of tickets sold by 120,000 that year.

"We've listened to our players and sales agents and combined their feedback with our team's knowledge to responsibly enhance the 2025 Montana Millionaire after last year's surprising sell-out," commented Montana Lottery Director Bob Brown.

Montana Millionaire sales will go live Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5:30 a.m.
