The Montana lottery was approved by voters in 1986 and sold its first ticket on June 24, 2027. The first lottery game on offer was a $1 Scratch game called Pot of Gold. Now, Montana lottery results include a variety of scratch games, Lotto America, Lucky for Life, Powerball, Mega Millions and local favorites including Montana Cash and Big Sky Bonus.

Proceeds from the Montana lottery go into the state’s general fund, which helps to fund programs such as public education, safety, and health programs for the citizens of Montana. Since its inception, $320 million dollars has been returned to the state.
