Somebody Has To Win - Western States Lottery Super Tags

Confession I play Power Ball when I travel for business. This year I committed to play some of Super Tag drawings. Wild bison is my #1 dream. I couldn't find anything for CO or NM. If anyone knows of other states please let me know.

Good luck if you wish to play.

Thanks dukes daddy! I had already entered for WY, and just entered for ID. Not sure what I'll do if I win both super draws. Guess I'll just worry about that when it happens

When you win fly though SLC and bite-beverage on me. Good luck.

Raffles for Colorado's "supertags" are administered by conservation organizations chosen by the Parks and Wildlife Commission. You can find information on the auction and raffle license website. Some of the 2017 raffles have already ended.

RMBS administers three of the raffle licenses: bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and pronghorn. You can purchase tickets for those raffles here. I will say that the pronghorn odds are outstanding right now...

Something I've been curious about for a long time, but why do the states abdicate these raffles/auctions/etc to third parties? Seems like the best return would be for the state to do so and keep all the money.

I always buy at least 1 of each Super tag in MT but I've considered sending a few bucks to other states. I put in for several of the rife Raffles that Oak and RMBS are offering...I should probably add the hunt raffles.

Montana has bison also!! Oh wait crap, I should not have said that. There goes MY chance!

I'm in with my usual donation - mixed it up a bit the the distribution though...the pronghorn odds got just a bit worse for everyone.

Nevada's Dream Tags also include Mule Deer and you can buy as many $5 raffle tickets that you want, whenever you want, all the way until the end of June. NV also has the Silver State tags that are the same as a Governor's tag. You can hunt from 8-1-17 until like Feb of 2018 in any unit that's open with weapon of choice. I believe you can put in for this without purchasing a license unless you are drawn. NV Silver State tags also give out a ton of prizes to the winners. I know the Desert Big Horn winner gets a guide and a full body mount for free. I think the $25-$30 is well worth a shot. NV also has PIW (Partner In Wilflife) tags available. I believe these tags are only an option to individuals that put in for tags. PIW tags cost an additional $10 per animal, and if you get drawn, you can hunt any unit that's open, with the current weapon that is available to use. This is yet another cool reason to apply in NV. Please note: You cannot apply for Deer PIW tags if you are applying as a party. Buck Antelope, Bull Elk, Desert Sheep and California Big Horn you can't party anyways, so you don't have to worry about that. Good luck on all of the draws guys and gals!!

You guys are killing my odds.

I'm winning in Montana this year!!
