PA Lottery dangles $800K in bonus prizes for New Year’s Millionaire Raffle

HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Lottery is offering $800,000 in bonus prizes as part of its popular New Year’s Millionaire Raffle, with four $50,000 prizes to be awarded every two weeks leading up to the grand drawing on January 4, 2025.

Since its launch in 2005, the Millionaire Raffle has made 136 Pennsylvanians millionaires, and this year’s final drawing will give out more than $5 million in cash prizes. The grand prizes include four $1 million winners, four $100,000 winners, and thousands of smaller prizes.

“Millionaire Raffle tickets make great stocking stuffers,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko, reminding players that one ticket is all it takes to win big.

Ticket sales close at 8 p.m. on January 4 or sooner if all tickets are sold. Only the exact matching numbers will win prizes in the highly anticipated drawing.
