BOISE, Idaho – Two lucky Idaho Lottery players who participated in the 2024 Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle will begin the New Year as Idaho’s newest millionaires! All 450,000 tickets in the Idaho Lottery’s traditional holiday game, the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle, have been sold and the game has officially ended. The 450,000th ticket was sold Friday, December 6, 2024.

This year’s game was one of the fastest selling in the eighteen-year history of the Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. After last year’s very successful game, the Idaho Lottery continued the game with two top prizes of $1,000,000.

It is the seventeenth sellout and the tenth time the game has sold out before Christmas.

“Having two, one-million-dollar prizes guaranteed has really captured the interest of Idaho Lottery players and retailers,” said Andrew Arulanandam, Idaho Lottery Director.

The winning numbers will be announced on Monday, December 30, 2024, at 5:59 p.m. Mountain Time.

“Our players enjoy giving these tickets as gifts during the holidays. This year, they could be gifting a ticket worth a guaranteed $1,000,000!” added Arulanandam.

Besides the guaranteed top prizes of $1,000,000, there are over 17,850 additional prizes ranging from $15 up to $10,000. This year’s game also featured eighteen, $1,000 prizes mid-game for players who purchased one of the 25000th tickets. There were 15 daily $1,000 winners during the first 15 days of sales.
