The lottery is giving someone a chance to win over one billion dollars. The odds of someone in Montana winning are 1 in 292.2 million so it is a long shot, to say the least. You also have to take into consideration taxes, both state and federal, so you won't actually take home a billion dollars, but who cares right, we can still dream. A lot of people who dream of winning these riches also dream of moving away, so their friends and families can't track them down. If I ever won the lottery, I would stay right here in Montana and here are the reasons why.

Space

Montana has approximately 3.5 million acres of wilderness in our lovely state. That is a lot space to hide from people who are after your money. You don't even have to buy a chunk of it to hide out in our state, you can just explore and get lost on purpose with people who you want to be with.

Buy an Island

There are a lot of people who would like to buy a tropical island and just get away from it all. Well you can buy an island in Montana too, for just a cool $72,000,000! Check it out!

People Leave You Alone

People in Montana have a tendency to mind their own business, so you can keep a low profile. Why do you think more and more "famous" people continue to move to our wonderful state. People leave them alone. You can go grocery shopping, or to a restaurant, or a bar and no one bats an eye. I know this because I have been a "local celebrity" for decades and no one cares.

It's My Home

I was born and raised in Montana and it will always be my home. If I won the lottery it wouldn't take me a way from Montana being my home. I may rent a place somewhere else or travel, but I will always find a way to come back to my home. Good luck on trying to win the lottery this week and keep in mind if you do, here in Montana, most people won't care.
