Changes for Montana Millionaire 2025
The Montana Lottery will add 120,000 more tickets and a fifth million-dollar prize for the 2025 Montana Millionaire.
Revenue Generation
Money generated from the lottery is used in several ways.
The lottery exists to generate revenue for the State of Montana. Most sales go towards paying prizes, operations, and essentially whatever is left at the end of that is what goes back to the state.
According to Dan Iverson, Montana Lottery content manager, the beneficiary of the remaining funds has changed several times and is determined by state legislative action.
Allocation of Funds
Currently, the first $2.25 million goes to the Montana Stem/Healthcare Scholarship Program, operated by the Office Of The Commissioner Of Higher Education and the Montana University System. Whatever is left goes to the state's general fund, which is dictated by the legislature.
