Frequently Asked Questions

When do Big Sky Bonus ticket sales close?

Draws are held daily at 7:30 PM Mountain Time, and sales close two minutes before the draw at 7:28 PM.

How does the Bonus Ball work?

The Bonus Ball is a bit like a separate game, since it doesn't interact with your main numbers at all. If you match the Bonus Ball, you win $10. You can still win other prizes by matching the white balls!

What are the jackpots like in Big Sky Bonus?

Big Sky Bonus jackpots are low to begin with, starting at just a few thousand dollars. Thanks to the daily draws, however, they quickly increase. The jackpot is often around the $30,000 mark, and occasionally approaches six digits!

What's the minimum age to play?

You must be 18 or older to play lottery games in Montana, including Big Sky Bonus.

What is the prize-claim cut-off time?

If you have a winning ticket, it will be valid for six months following on from the date of the draw. Once this time is up, the ticket will expire and prizes can no longer be redeemed.

How can I claim my Big Sky Bonus prize?

This depends how much you've won, and whether you're still in Montana. Unless it's a biggie though, you'll be able to make your claim in-person at a lottery retailer, or by mail. Head to the main Montana Lottery page for more info!
