Montana Lottery's Millionaire Raffle returns for 2023Reply
Sounds like someone bought the million dollar ticket in Butte and then left town. The TV series Yellowstone is filmed near Darby Montana, about a 2 and a half hour drive from Butte.

Yes, it's Idaho. They call it bundling for your convenience as though that makes it better. I believe that Montana has also begun bundling the powerball. I wish MUSL didn't allow that. If you're gonna raise the price, just raise it nationwide instead of trying to manipulate players.
