Lottery Raffle Tickets Going Fast!

TOPEKA, KAN. – Players who want to get in on the Kansas Lottery’s Holiday Millionaire Raffle still have time to purchase their tickets, but they may want to hurry. The Kansas Lottery has already sold more than a third of the total number of tickets available, and the game just started Sunday morning.

The Holiday Millionaire Raffle is the first ever raffle offered by the Kansas Lottery and it comes with the best chances the Lottery has ever offered of winning a million dollars at 1 in 150,000. There are also other amounts available to win in this Kansas-only game, including five $50,000 prizes and five hundred $500 prizes. Raffle tickets cost $20 each.

Sales of Raffle tickets will continue until the game is sold out, or until December 30, whichever comes first. The drawing will be held December 31. Players must retain their original Holiday Millionaire Raffle tickets to claim a prize!

“Selling over a third of the tickets after less than four days of selling proves this is something our Kansas Lottery players have been looking for,” said Executive Director Ed Van Petten.

As with any lottery game, the Kansas Lottery reminds players to sign their tickets, put them in a safe place and play responsibly.
