How To Play
To play the game, you have to visit a physical location since it is not available online. If you understand poker, it will help you determine if you win anything, but it is not required to know poker to play or improve any odds of the game.
Here are the steps to play:
Find and visit your favorite Lottery retailer for a Poker Lotto ticket. No play slip is required.
Five cards will be randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck and printed on the ticket. Your cards will also be visible on the terminal display.
If your randomly-selected cards create a winning poker hand, you’re a winner.
If you are a winner, the terminal will flash a winner message as well as an audio tone to signal an instant prize winner. A message printed on the ticket will also let you know if it is an instant prize winner or non-winner.
Also, make sure to keep your ticket for the nightly drawing, giving you another chance to win.
You can check the drawing results on TV or see the results on Michigan Lottery’s website or mobile app to see if your cards match any of the cards drawn.
