Montana is known for its pioneering spirit—and that includes Lottery games.

Unique to our state, Montana Millionaire is an annual raffle-style game in which a limited number of tickets are sold between November 1 and December 31 (or until the game is sold out). From the pool of purchased, auto-generated and numbered tickets, multiple winning numbers are selected at the January 1 drawing for prizes that range from $10,000 up to the grand prize of $1 million!

It’s your best odds at a million bucks. Not to mention a very happy New Year.

Montana Millionaire features a limited pool of tickets, so players’ chances of winning a million dollars are, well, awesome! One in 125,000 awesome, in fact. One entry into the pool of 125,000 tickets costs $20. Not bad when you look at the odds an Andrew Jackson will give you.

Of course, there’s more than one way to win in Montana Millionaire—the $1 million grand prize is just the start. In addition to the grand prize, four $100,000 and four $10,000 prizes will be awarded as well.

But that’s not all! Before January 1st even rolls around, 200 people will win $50 instantly. And Montana Millionaire features an Early Bird Drawing on November 25, 2011. How’s that for Black Friday?

Tickets are on sale from November 1 through 11:59pm December 31, so remember to spring for an extra $20 at the ATM. And get in while you can!
