• Big Jackpots for a Small Price:
  
  • Lotto 47 jackpots start at $1 million and can grow significantly when there’s no winner. That’s a life-changing amount of money for just a $1 ticket — one of the best dollar-to-prize ratios among Michigan Lottery games.
• Twice-Weekly Drawings = More Chances:
  
  • Drawings happen every Wednesday and Saturday, so players have two chances a week to win the jackpot or one of the secondary prizes. The frequent schedule keeps players engaged and increases anticipation without being overwhelming like daily games.
• Add-On Options Make It More Exciting: Lotto 47 isn’t just one draw. Players can boost their chances and excitement with:
  • Double Play: For an extra $1, your numbers get entered into a second draw with a $1.5 million top prize.
  • EZmatch: Also for $1 more, you can win instant prizes up to $500 — right on the spot when you buy your ticket. This makes it feel like both a draw game and a scratcher in on
• Simple, Classic Format
  • Lotto 47 is straightforward: pick 6 numbers from 1 to 47 — no bonus balls, power numbers, or complex rules. This simplicity appeals to both new players and traditional lottery fans who enjoy clean, easy-to-understand mechanics.

Joining a Lotto pool (with friends, family, or coworkers) increases your chances of winning without increasing your spending. You’ll split any winnings, but you can afford more combinations and entries as a group — which statistically improves your odds across more prize tiers.
