Since selling our first scratch ticket in 1987, we’ve paid over $1.06 billion in prizes to winners and returned approximately $386.5 million to the State of Montana and $104.5 million in sales agent commissions. And that’s all thanks to you, our players!
When the Lottery first began, there was no Powerball, no Montana Millionaire, no Treasure Play, and no Sports Bet Montana. And yet, over the last 38 years, you’ve helped bring the excitement of winning to Montanans everywhere. That’s right! Every Lottery ticket purchased, game number scratched, or sports wager made has gone to support Montana residents – and it’s made all the difference.
The mission of the Montana Lottery is to maximize net profit for the Montana STEM Scholarship program and the transfer to the state’s General Fund. The greatest return to our sales agents, players and all Montanans occurs by providing exemplary products to meet the state’s market demands while adhering to optimal standards of security and integrity.
