Monopoly Millionaires' Club

This article is about the lottery games. For the television game show, see Monopoly Millionaires' Club (game show).

Monopoly Millionaires' Club (MMC) was a U.S. multi-state lottery drawing game coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), using the Monopoly board game brand under license from Hasbro. Players of the game could become eligible to be flown to Las Vegas to take part in an episode of the Monopoly Millionaires' Club game show.

The draw game was unsuccessful, and ended after only three months. Ticket sales for the draw game began on October 19, 2014, in 22 states and the District of Columbia, with the first drawing held on October 24. In December, after the Texas Lottery pulled out of the game, the remaining participants voted to suspend Monopoly Millionaires' Club after the December 26 draw. The draw game was plagued by low ticket sales, along with concerns that the game was, with its multiple components, too complicated for players to understand.

The Monopoly Millionaires' Club game show was unaffected by the suspension of the draw game; it premiered in syndication on March 28, 2015; that month, it was announced that the MMC name would be revived as a series of scratchcard games (prizes varied by lottery jurisdiction); 16 lotteries offered a scratch‑off game with the same $5 price point as the draw game. The game show's final episode was shown on April 30, 2016.
