How to play Millionaire Maker

Making the list twice was Millionaire Maker, which is one of the scratch games offered by the Montana Lottery. Millionaire Maker is a $30 ticket, and it gives players up to 33 times to win!

For the main game, players need to match any of their 30 numbers to any of the winning numbers. If they do, they win the prize shown for that number. If they happen to scratch a “stack of coins” symbol, they win that prize automatically. Get a “2X” symbol and win two times the prize shown. Get a “5X” symbol and win five times the prize shown. Get a “10X” symbol and win 10 times the prize shown.

The scratcher also offers three bonus games for a chance to win $50, $100, or $200. To win $50, the player must scratch a diamond symbol in the playing spot. To win $100, the player must scratch a crown symbol in the playing spot. To win $200, the player must scratch a ring symbol in the playing spot. Reveal a diamond, crown, and ring in each specific game and win $350!

Millionaire Maker offers players over 29 different prize amounts to win, ranging from a free $30 ticket to the top prize of $1 million. There are over $3.2 million in total cash prizes available for the game, and the overall odds of winning on the ticket are 1 in 3.06.

Enjoy playing the Montana Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
