Climate XChange is giving away more EVs than ever before in its 11th Annual EV Raffle

ROSEVILLE, Minn. (KVRR) -- If you are dreaming of becoming an instant millionaire, listen up. The popular Minnesota Millionaire Raffle is back and for the first time ever, the raffle will offer 4, $1 million prizes. They only gave away two last year. This year's game features more than 30,000 total prizes. To make room for all that winning, the Minnesota Lottery improved the odds and upped the ticket count to 1.5 million. They are available now at 3,000 lottery retailers statewide for $10 and they quickly sell-out. Winning numbers will be announced on January 1, 2027. In addition to the four $1 million top prizes, this year’s Raffle includes: • $100,000 (6) • $50,000 (6) • $25,000 (6) • $10,000 (20) • $500 (1,000) • $200 (1,100) • $100 (8,000) • $50 (20,000)

After falling behind the Florida Panthers three games to none in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers flirted with a historic comeback before coming up short in Game 7. But they did manage another astonishing feat that night: Their final-game 50/50 raffle tallied almost $16 million (C$21.6 million) in sales. “That catapulted the 50/50 to the stratosphere,” Tim Shipton, the club’s executive vice president of communications and gaming and a board member of its charity, said. “Game 7s of Cup Finals don’t come around all the time, but you do see it. There’s just more momentum, more excitement and more passion around the team, and that does translate to the fans supporting the Oilers Foundation in the 50/50.”
