HELENA, Mont. (AP) - A Kalispell man has claimed the grand prize of the Montana Millionaire raffle.

Montana Lottery officials say Russell Miller purchased his winning ticket at Mike’s of Columbia Falls and claimed his winnings on Tuesday.

Miller says he learned he won by checking the numbers in the newspaper three days after the drawing.



He says he’s thought about what he would do if he won more than $5 or $10. He says he plans to donate some of the $1 million grand prize to some organizations that he and his wife have given to in the past.
