Tickets for Millionaire Raffle are available until 8 p.m. on the drawing date, unless sold out sooner. Ticket sales for this edition started May 2 and reached the half-sold point on June 25.

Winning Millionaire Raffle numbers are randomly selected from among ticket numbers sold.

On July 8, winning Millionaire Raffle numbers will be randomly selected after 8 p.m. and announced after 10 p.m. at palottery.com. Players should check their tickets using scanners found at Lottery retailers or with the ticket checker feature on the Lottery's official mobile app.
