The game kicks off today with one million tickets available, each featuring a unique number between 0000001 and 1000000. The winning numbers will be drawn on New Year’s Day, a long-standing tradition that’s become part of Minnesota’s holiday season. The raffle consistently sells out every year, and once all one million tickets are gone, that’s it until next year’s drawing.
