Instant games are the Michigan Lottery's fastest-growing product, and with
good reason – nearly one new game is introduced every week. Instant game
enthusiasts have their choice of a number of different play styles and top
prizes ranging from $500 to $2,000,000.
With a variety of games and prices ranging from $1 to $20, Lottery instant
tickets are instant favorites around the state. Instant games are a sure bet for
Lottery fun, with overall odds of winning a prize at approximately 1-in-6. Overall odds are determined by the total number of tickets printed for a
particular game, not to a consecutive string of tickets.
Most instant game tickets are also eligible for a yearly 2nd chance drawing for
$1,000,000. Players may submit $10 worth of non-winning instant tickets into the
Instant Replay program to gain entry into the drawing. Tickets can be entered only at the Lottery's VIP Club,
Player City. Membership is free.
The Michigan Lottery prints an expiration date on the back of each instant
ticket. To find out when instant tickets that were introduced prior to
this date are set to expire, please consult the
instant games validation list.
Directives for instant games are available at
our Regional Offices or from Public Relations by sending a self-addressed,
stamped envelope to Michigan Lottery, P.O. Box 30023, Lansing, MI 48909.
