The Minnesota Lottery selected the winning numbers Thursday for its special "Millionaire Raffle" drawing.

The full set of winning numbers are available on Lottery Post's Minnesota Lottery Results page (www.lotterypost.com/results/mn).

Millionaire Raffle is the third annual holiday raffle game from the Minnesota State Lottery.

Players purchased tickets for $10 each. Tickets went on sale Oct. 19 and were completely sold out by Dec. 28.  The raffle has sold out in each of its three years.

A total of 500,000 tickets were available for the raffle.

Lottery officials said that Minnesota Millionaire Raffle has the best odds of winning $1 million cash that they have ever offered. There are two guaranteed $1 million prizes, four $100,000 prizes, four $25,000 prizes, and 100 $500 prizes.

The game and prize format has remained the same for each of the three annual raffles.

Check the Event Calendar.  It includes in-depth descriptions of just about every raffle being drawn between Dec. and Jan.

They are just like raffles you might see anywhere, like a fund-raiser or something, except on a much larger scale, where the top prize(s) are normally $1 million.  The tickets are expensive, but in return you get the best chance of winning $1 million of any game available in the state.
