Good morning, Bozeman.

The Montana Lottery Commission approved an update for Montana Millionaire that will add 120,000 tickets and a fifth $1 million prize for 2025, with tickets still costing $20.

The game update also includes more instant-win prizes and a 'Quarter Million Monday' drawing for $250,000 on Dec. 1 — ticket sales start Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5:30 a.m.

Gallatin College MSU carpentry students built dog kennels for Haven in April and a calf shelter for Essential Eats Distributors in fall — projects that give long-term shelter to pets and calves — while boosting their skills for local construction jobs.

Gallatin County is developing a safety action plan to cut fatalities and serious crashes on Huffine Lane as the area grows and traffic increases.

The plan, which includes improvements like a right-turn lane and pedestrian upgrades near Gooch Hill + shared-use paths, will be voted on by county commissioners next week.

Bozeman’s North 7th Avenue will begin a $3.5 million construction project in July to upgrade signals, sidewalks, and roads between Main Street and Wheat Drive and finish in the fall.

Local business Big O Tires worries that the work will cause traffic and block access, and the Montana Department of Transportation will host an open house on June 19 (Gallatin Room at C’mon Inn) with virtual meetings on June 24.

A new report by the Montana Healthcare Foundation warns that the federal 'One Big Bill' may force 31,000 people to lose Medicaid coverage in Montana, with about 27,000 of them likely to be adults on the expansion and 60% of losses in rural areas.

The report projects a $5.4 billion drop in federal health spending over ten years—changes include more frequent eligibility checks and new work requirements.
