Montana Lottery profits flow directly to education, supporting K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and student scholarships across the state. Beyond classrooms, lottery revenue also funds parks and recreation areas, fish and wildlife conservation projects, and senior services.

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Montana. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
Montana allows lottery winners to remain anonymous. Your name and personal information will not be publicly disclosed by the lottery.
Montana lottery winners get a genuine advantage. You can stay completely anonymous and claim through a trust or LLC instead of using your name. This keeps your identity private from the public eye, which protects you from unwanted solicitation, scams, and even safety concerns that often plague big winners. There's a catch, though. The Montana Lottery Commission still knows who you are behind that legal entity for tax reporting purposes. Federal taxes get reported regardless of anonymity status, so the IRS will have your information on file. Your prize claim gets processed through your trust's representative, but documentation requirements remain the same as any other winner. This setup works particularly well if you want to avoid media attention or prefer keeping your win confidential from friends and family.
