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 $1,000,000 2nd chance drawing. Players may submit $10 worth of non-winning instant tickets into the Play It Again program to gain entry into the drawing. Tickets can be entered only at the Lottery's VIP Club, Michigan Lottery Player's Club. Membership is free.
The Michigan Lottery prints an expiration date on the back of each instant ticket. View the 'Claim By' date on the back of your instant ticket to find out when it is set to expire.
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.
