FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BOISE, Idaho - Two lucky Idaho Lottery players who participated in the 2025 Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle will begin the New Year as Idaho's newest millionaires! All 500,000 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 last ticket was sold Thursday, December 11, 2025.
This year's game was one of the fastest selling in the nineteen-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. They also added a $100,000 prize and a $50,000 prize.
It is the eighteenth sellout and the eleventh time the game has sold out before Christmas.
"We want to remind everyone this game features two, one-million-dollar top prizes. Last year, unfortunately, one of those $1,000,000 prizes was never claimed," said Andrew Arulanandam, Idaho Lottery Director. "So, please keep your tickets in a safe place and remember to go online and check them after the drawing."
The winning numbers will be announced at 5:59 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, December 29, 2025.
"Idaho Raffle tickets are popular holiday gifts. So, this year, two lucky Idahoans could be instant millionaires because of their stocking stuffers!" added Arulanandam.
Players will be able to view the winning announcement LIVE on KTVB News Channel 7 in the Treasure Valley, KMVT Channel 11 in the Magic Valley, KPVI News 6 in eastern Idaho, and KLEW 3 in northern Idaho.

Besides the guaranteed top prizes of $1,000,000, there are over 21,500 additional prizes ranging from $15 up to $100,000. This year's game also featured twenty, $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.
