Lotto America is giving players a new day to play for cash prizes and a multi-million dollar jackpot.

On July 18, 2022, Lotto America will launch a new Monday drawing, which will expand the weekly lineup of Lotto America drawings to three nights a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

The Monday night drawing will not change Lotto America's $1 ticket price, game odds, or set cash prizes. Players will continue to choose five numbers from 1 to 52 and one Star Ball number from 1 to 10. The All Star Bonus add-on feature will also be available for an additional $1 per play to multiply non-jackpot prizes.

The Montana Lottery has generated $302 million to benefit the State of Montana since its inception in 1987, paying out more than $774 million in prizes to winners.

On average, the Lottery has paid out $62,369 every single day to winners.

But the Montana Lottery almost never happened.

The idea of starting a lottery in Montana was the brain child of longtime Butte state Rep. Bob Pavlovich. Pavlovich and Butte Sen. Lawrence Stimatz sponsored a bill in the 1985 Montana Legislature to create a lottery for Montana.

"The bill died," Pavlovich said.
