The Montana Lottery Commission has approved the new game design for Montana Millionaire 2024.

The Treasure State will sell 500,000 tickets in this year's edition of the game, up from 380,000 sold in 2023. Players will have the opportunity to win one of four $1 million grand prizes.

That's not all; the 2024 edition of Montana Millionaire will feature a new “Quarter Million Monday” drawing for $250,000 on December 2, 2024. This will replace the previous years' “Early Bird” drawings. There will also be more instant-win prizes than in previous years. This year, players will have 200 more $500 instant wins and 2,500 more $100 instant wins. The odds of winning will also improve. Players get all these upgrades, and the price remains at $20.

Montana Millionaire has seen a boost in popularity in the past few years. Last year, all 380,000 tickets were grabbed within five hours of going on sale. In a recent press release, the Montana Lottery's Director, Bob Brown, said:

This year's Montana Millionaire has been designed to build on last year's success in a responsible way while combining feedback from players and sales agents with the extensive knowledge of the Lottery's staff.

You will be able to purchase your Montana Millionaire 2024 from November 1 at your local lottery retailer.
