Montana Millionaire sells out in record time

The Montana Millionaire tickets went on sale at 5:30 a.m. Friday, and were sold out in less than three hours, the Montana Lottery reported.

Town Pump in Thompson Falls reported a line of people waiting to get their tickets before they went on sale, and at 8 a.m. still had a short line inside the store.

The three-hour sellout is a new record for the game, the Montana Lottery stated in a press release today.

"The demand for Montana Millionaire this year has been absolutely incredible," said Montana Lottery Director Bob Brown, a former state legislator from Thompson Falls. "We knew tickets would sell fast, but under a 3-hour sellout for 500,000 tickets is truly unprecedented."

The Montana Millionaire game will have a Quarter Million Monday drawing on Dec. 2 for the $250,000 prize. The four $1 million grand prizes will be drawn on Dec. 26. The game also included 2,300 $500 instant win prizes and 4,500 $100 instant win prizes. All instant winners and the Quarter Million Monday winner tickets are still eligible for the grand prize drawings.
