How does the Holiday Raffle work?

It’s easy to play! Each ticket purchased has its own unique six-digit raffle number. Just like any raffle, Holiday Raffle tickets are sold in sequential order (from 000001 to 325000). There are no playslips or numbers to choose, and Quick Pick is not available.

And just like any draw game, players can buy a raffle ticket from any Maryland Lottery self-service vending machine or a sales associate at a Maryland Lottery retailer. One Holiday Raffle number is issued per $20 ticket purchased. Holiday Raffle ticket purchases cannot be cancelled by the retailer. Hold on to your tickets! A physical ticket is needed to claim a raffle prize.

Each $20 ticket is eligible to win one of over 10,000 cash prizes from $50 to $1,000,000.
