HELENA – The Montana Lottery today announced its commitment as a Lottery Level 1 participant of the 2023 Gift Responsibly Campaign, joining lotteries and community organizations across North America and around the world to raise awareness about the risks of underage lottery use. The campaign is organized by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and the International Center for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors at McGill University.
Research shows that the earlier a person’s participation or exposure to gambling is in childhood, the more likely they are to develop a gambling problem later in life. Gambling exposure during childhood is often through some kind of lottery product, such as lottery tickets or scratch offs. Often these items are given to a child by an adult who is unaware of the associated risks.
“The Gift Responsibly Campaign is an important cause we’re proud to be a part of every year to raise awareness of appropriate gift-giving around the holiday season,” said Montana Lottery Director Scott Sales. “Lottery tickets do make great gifts, but only for adults.”
The Montana Lottery has signed on to the 2023 Gift Responsibly Campaign as a Lottery Level 1 participant. During December, the Lottery will work to promote awareness about the risks of underage lottery use with lottery machine video screens, a press release, and social media.

HELENA – The Montana Lottery on Wednesday will launch its 17th annual Montana Millionaire raffle game with three $1 million grand prizes available to win.
Tickets go on sale across the state at 5:30 a.m. and sell for $20 each. They will be available until they sell out, which last year occurred less than two days after going on sale.
In response to the unprecedented demand, the Lottery in March announced it would add 100,000 tickets and a third $1 million grand prize to 2023’s game. Even with 380,000 tickets in total, Lottery officials still anticipate a quick sellout.
“Montana Millionaire is the best odds of winning a million bucks in Montana, but for the best odds of being able to buy a ticket, we suggest stopping by a lottery retailer on Wednesday or Thursday if at all possible,” said Montana Lottery Director Scott Sales.
Every Montana Millionaire ticket is eligible to win one of 4,100 instant-win prizes of $100 or $500, plus three drawings: one for $25,000 on Nov. 24, one for $100,000 on Dec. 15, and the grand prize drawings for three $1 million prizes on Dec. 26.
