Picking Numbers
Each payslip comes equipped with five panels for play. Each panel costs one dollar and allows the player to choose six numbers from 1 to 47. So, if a player wants to play all five panels, it’ll cost five dollars. A player will pick six numbers for each panel. You have the option of picking your own numbers or having the computer pick numbers for you. If you want the computer to choose for you, then mark the “Easy Pick” box on your payslip.
Playing
Once you have chosen your numbers, you can return your payslip to any participating entity in Michigan. Once you pay, you’re then entered into the lottery drawing. Players may also pick numbers several days in advance and buy tickets all at once. The state allows players to purchase up to 20 consecutive days’ worth of payslips. You may purchase payslips until 7:08 p.m. the day of the drawing.
Winning
If a player matches six out of six numbers he will win the jackpot for that particular round. The jackpot will depend on how many people are playing the game at that particular time. However, if nobody wins the jackpot for that round, the money carries over to the next jackpot. If you match five out of six numbers, you’re guaranteed at least $2,500. If you match four out of six, you’ll get at least $100, and if you match at least three numbers, you’re guaranteed at least $5.
