The Wait is Almost Over - Holiday Millionaire Raffle begins
Oct. 1!
'Tis the season for a Kansas Lottery player to win $1
million! Beginning October 1, 2012, the Kansas Lottery is
once again giving its players a chance to win a $1 million grand
prize, plus other cash prizes in its fourth Holiday Millionaire
Raffle game. As with last year, the Kansas Lottery is
offering Early Bird drawings, giving players who purchase tickets
early a chance to win $10,000 in each drawing. Only 150,000 tickets
will be sold at $20 each.
The Early Bird drawings will be held October 14, 21, 28, and
November 4 and 11. If a player buys a ticket before an Early
Bird drawing, their ticket will be eligible for that drawing, all
subsequent Early Bird drawings, and the $1 million grand prize or
other prizes on December 31, 2012. It is possible for the
same ticket to win in all five Early Bird drawings and the $1
million grand prize drawing. Tickets sold after the final
Early Bird drawings will only be eligible for raffle prizes drawn
December 31, 2012.
Holiday Millionaire Raffle tickets are Quick Pick only.
Each ticket will have a unique 6-digit raffle number. Tickets
will print in numeric order throughout the state beginning with
raffle number 000001. When the last raffle number, 150000, is
issued, sales will end and no additional tickets will be available
for purchase. Players don't wait to purchase your
tickets. Once they're gone, they're gone
On December 31, 2012, the Lottery will draw the winning numbers
for the grand prize and other cash prizes. In recognition of
the Lottery's 25th Anniversary, players will notice a
"25" prize theme. In addition to the $1 million grand prize,
25 players will each win $5,000, 25 players will each win $1,000,
and 2,500 players will each win $100. Prizes for the Holiday
Millionaire Raffle will total $1.5 million. Winners have 365
days from the date of the drawings to claim a prize. The $100
prizes can be claimed at most Kansas Lottery retail
locations. Larger prizes must be claimed at a Kansas Lottery
office.
