Here is Darby Montana, home of the Yellowstone/Dutton Ranch, which is a real ranch and has cabins for rent. https://youtu.be/rjlWUITPJFU?si=rvagJgwKmm_h94hW Watching the show I always thought the view from the front porch of the main house was amazing. To be able to go outside and see that every day would be incredible.

620,000 Montana Lottery Montana Millionaire raffle tickets sell out in 6 hoursReply
Wow! I remember 20 or so years ago when that happened for the raffles here. Looking at the games available in Montana I can see why they get so excited. Good luck to everyone who has tickets! What's frustrating in my state is they are currently offering the best raffle they have ever had but the tickets aren't selling because all the players see is that they are $50 but either they don't see the raffle is a great deal compared to other games here or they just don't have the disciplin

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I am thankful we have no state income tax. But we do have sales tax that does allow each county to charge a certain max figure. So with the state tax and the county tax, the total due is 9.75%.... Groceries are at 6.25% * BTW Montana does the same as Idaho. Mandatory $3 for the PB with the forced purchase of the multiplier. Just talked with a friend who's out vacationing in the big sky country yesterday. I suggested he buy some PB tickets. He did grab a few and said each one is the minimal $3

2026 tax rates now published at USA Mega
Both the federal tax rate brackets and the state income tax rates used for the Powerball Jackpot Analysis and Mega Millions Jackpot Analysis pages at USA Mega have been updated to the latest 2026 rates. Federal tax bracket changes happen every year, with the IRS adjusting each bracket upwards slightly to account for inflation. For a lottery jackpot winner claiming millions in income this results in a minuscule change in taxes paid, but the adjustment at USA Mega does make it exact. For s

Lottery Post's guide to 2025 holiday raffles across the USAReply
I have 4 Michigan Super raffle tickets :) looking forward to the drawing in a couple weeks. Looks like we are going to have a little break on the odds since most likely this will not be a sell out with such slow sales. I also have 10 Idaho holiday raffle tickets. And after spending the day in Yellowstone I am currently in Montana ready to buy my Raffle tickets first thing in the morning before they sell out. Good luck everyone on your raffle purchases Cheers!

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
I live in Montana and I feel that everyone playing should have an equal chance of winning. With bulk buying, when the buying of all number combinations guarantees a win and a profit after tax, I can't imagine that anyone thinks that is fair. It may be a smart move on the part of mega rich organizations to do this, but for the average person it is not a level playing field. I started thinking about this a long time ago as something that would happen but it took retailers to have multiple

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
This is a hard one. If I lived in Montana and played that game with hopes of winning because the odds are better, I would feel bad if an outside entity did that. Well, if I had a bunch of friends and we are stinking rich and we could go to some State and buy off a lottery and make a profit, for the fun of it and a good laugh later, would I do that? I don't know. Is it a moral or ethical question or is it a business/investor question? Well, got my PB and MM ticket, hoping no o
