- How it works
- Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 47. Match 3 to 6 of the 6 numbers drawn to win.
- Jackpot
- The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until a play matches all 6 numbers, then starts again at $1 million. Winners share it equally. A winner chooses within 60 days of claiming between 30 yearly payments and one cash payment of their share of the prize pool.
- Prizes
- Every prize below the jackpot is a set cash amount.
- Double Play
- Double Play is a separate drawing right after each Lotto 47 drawing, using your same numbers, so one play can win in both. Its prizes are double the main game's below the top prize of $1.5 million, which a winner can take as cash or 30 yearly payments, and which Michigan says is shared equally if more than two persons win it. It's $1 more per play, per drawing, and sold only in stores.
- EZ Match
- EZmatch numbers and their prizes are printed on your ticket when you buy it. If an EZmatch number matches any of your Lotto 47 numbers, you win the prize shown, up to $500, with no drawing. EZmatch is $1 more per ticket, however many plays it has.
