HELENA – The Montana Lottery Commission has approved the Lottery’s game design for the 2025 edition of Montana Millionaire. After discussion and a public comment opportunity, the Commission approved it with a unanimous vote at its June 12 meeting.
The 2025 edition of the game will feature 620,000 tickets, five $1 million grand prizes, more instant-win prizes, and a “Quarter Million Monday” drawing for $250,000 on Dec. 1. There will be no change to the $20 price.
“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.
Last year’s game went on sale at 5:30 a.m. and sold out of its 500,000 tickets at 8:16 a.m., surprising Lottery officials who anticipated the additional 120,000 tickets from the year prior would slow, rather than accelerate, the rate of sales.
In summary, highlights of the 2025 game design include:
- Five $1 million grand prizes
- Better odds to win $1 million
- 120,000 more tickets available
- 200 more $500 instant wins
- 1,600 more $100 instant wins
- The $250,000 Quarter Million Monday Drawing
- Better overall odds
Montana Millionaire sales will go live Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5:30 a.m.
