GREAT FALLS — Tickets for the Montana Millionaire drawing sold out in a record-setting six days - sales started on Monday, November 1, and the last of the 250,000 tickets was sold on Saturday, November 6.

Tickets were $20 each, and were sold at most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. Last year, there were 180,000 tickets available, and they sold out on November 23.

The biggest change from years past: this year, the annual event will feature two million-dollar grand prizes.

There will also be two "early bird" drawings - the first one will be for $25,000 on Friday, November 26.

The second "early bird" drawing will be for $15,000 on Friday, December 17.
