Montana State Lottery Ticket 1893 [200272]
FINAL AUCTION RECORD The Auctioneer’s podium notes serve as the final, legally binding record of the auction results, superseding any electronic bidding records. See Terms and Conditions
This first Montana Lottery perhaps began in January 1893, although the Montana Historical Society can't seem to pin down exactly when. Dated May 25, 1893 only four years after Montana became a state, this ticket is in like new condition and shows the lottery office to be in Butte. Only a few of these tickets have survived and should be considered very rare.
