To play Daily 3 in Michigan, you must pick three numbers between 0 and 9. There are also a few more choices to make, unlike many other lotteries, making it a game that you can tailor to suit how you want to play. Here is a full guide to all the steps involved in playing Daily 3.
You can wager $0.50 or $1. If you bet $1, you can win the top prize for each bet type. If you opt for a $0.50 wager, the amount you can win is reduced by half.
Pick three numbers from 0 to 9. The same number can be drawn more than once, so you can pick any three-digit combination you want between 000 and 9999. You can choose your own or get an Easy Pick if you want a random selection.
There are five panels per playslip if you wish to enter multiple sets of numbers. You can also play your numbers in as many as 60 consecutive drawings by marking a number in the multiple draw wagers area.
Decide whether to play the next Midday draw or Evening draw. Midday drawings take place at 12:59 p.m. and Evening drawings are at 7:29 p.m.
There are various different ways to play – Straight, Box, Wheel, 2-Way or 1-Off. Find out more about each method by going to the Bet Types page.
Take your playslip to the retailer and pay for your entries. You must purchase your tickets before the cut-off time of 12:39 p.m. for a Midday draw, or 7:08 p.m. for an Evening draw.
The total cost can be calculated by multiplying your wager amount by the number of panels you have played and the number of draws you are entering. For example, if you wager $1, play two panels and enter both the Midday and Evening draws, the cost of your bet is $4 (1 x 2 x 2).
Another option, which speeds up the ticket purchasing process, is to get a ‘Replay’. If you have a previous ticket from the last 31 days, all you need to do is hand it in to a retailer and ask for it to be replayed. All the original selections will be included again in the new ticket, starting from the next available drawing.
Keep your ticket safe until the draw takes place, then find out what happened afterwards. You can go to the Numbers page to see how many you matched.
To win a prize, you must match all three winning numbers and meet the requirements of your bet type. For example, if you play a Straight, you have to match all three numbers in exact order. Go to the Prizes and Odds page to find out how much you can win for each bet type.
