The 2026 Maine Moose Permit Lottery drawing is set to begin at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Acton Fairgrounds, and hunters who cannot make the trip can still follow the results as they are announced live.
Stan Bennett said Bennett Radio Group will broadcast from the fairgrounds from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, giving listeners a way to keep up with the drawing as it happens. Channel X Radio will carry the broadcast on 97.7 FM and 102.3 FM, while WOXO will air it on 92.7 FM and 100.7 FM, with both also streaming online at ChannelXRadio.com and WOXO.com.
The county breakdown matters because the broadcasts will not carry every winner for every listener. Channel X Radio will announce lottery winners from Aroostook County, while WOXO will handle winners from Oxford and Androscoggin counties. WOXO serves listeners in Lewiston-Auburn and western Maine, giving those areas a local way to track the drawing without being in Acton.
For applicants outside those counties, or for anyone who misses the live coverage, the next stop is the Bangor Daily News website. The complete list of lottery winners will be posted there beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday, which makes the afternoon broadcast a preview for some and the only live option for others.
The setup reflects the practical limits of a statewide drawing: one event, but not one broadcast for everyone. The live coverage lets people follow the 2026 Maine Moose Permit Lottery in real time, while the later website posting gives every applicant the same end point once the day’s announcements are finished.
