One of the most exciting things that happened in Montana recently was the sale of the Montana Millionaire Tickets from the Montana Lottery. When they went on sale back in November there was an electricity in the air when they went on sale. They set a new record selling out 300,000 tickets in just shy of four hours. There are hopes of three Montanans becoming millionaires this year, with $1,000,000 jackpots offered. So far they've had one early bird drawing a winner of $25,000. That ticket was sold in Billings, Mt.

Montana Please Play Responsibly

I've told this story before that my father used to give us scratch tickets for the Montana Lottery in our stockings every year when we became adults. With some of the scratch games this year, I think I'm going to keep the tradition going with my family. Who knows, maybe they'll walk away with a couple bucks in their pocket. In the meantime. If you are planning on playing the Montana Lottery this holiday season please play responsibly.
