The ticket has "on or after the 19th" printed on it

My Super Raffle ticket for the October 6th 2008 drawing says that that drawing would be on Oct 6th or within 10 days of sellout

The prizes 10 years ago were

2 - $1,300,000 ($2,000,000 annuity)
20 - $100,000
4000 - $500
10000 - $100

Thanks for the update! I am watching the numbers on the website and I think I will plunk down some money when there are 50K or so left. For no real reason. I just like the thought of that.

I am shocking myself on this one. I am seriously considering taking the annuity for the jackpot. Lucy usually wants the loot upfront! But that annuity amount would allow early retirement without having to tap the retirement well to soon...I must need more sleep.

I just got on to see how many tickets are left and see that they have now changed the drawing date to October 3rd. With only 57,027 tickets left I am a little disappointed they are waiting so long.

They have extended the date on every limited ticket Raffle they have had so far. They usually sell all the tickets before they do a draw.

I read this and thought they may have changed something this time - https://milotteryconnect.com/2018/09/11/super-raffle-gives-michigan-lottery-players-chance-to-win-millions-one-week-remains-to-buy-tickets/

"The Super Raffle drawing will take place on Sept. 19."

When I bought mine I figured all of them would sell before they did a draw. I believe the only time they didn't have to extend the date was the first time they did a $50 Raffle and the tickets sold out in a couple few days.

I hope they still keep having more Raffles. Maybe they will do a $30 one or maybe $100. Just as long as they give us enough notice ahead of time to plan for buying a ticket.

Michigan is a RIP OFF, and people know it, that's why they haven't sold out. Do the math, its not worth it for $50.00, you'll do better sticking to the p3 and 4 games!!

I wasn’t surprised that the draw date was extended. I don’t think I have ever played a raffle where that didn’t happen. I was only surprised that they were extending it so long. It seems like they will most likely sell out by the end of next week and could have drawn then. As of 11pm on 9/18 they had less than 45,000 tickets left.

I'm still trying to figure out why I see people buy a couple few $30 scratchers but they won't buy a Raffle ticket. The odds of winning $4,000,000 on the newest $30 scratcher here are 3,000,000 to one while the odds for the same on this Raffle are TEN TIMES better at 300,000 to one!

Did you get your one last ticket that you were talking about earlier?

I am also perplexed why people are so down on the raffle. I figure to each his own!

Yes, I bought on Tuesday when there were only about 50,000 left. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re sold out by Monday.

Got some last night and some this morning. ( If there is a crossed finger emoticon I missed it) Hopefully I won't have to play any more after next Wednesday

Tomorrow. Finally!

I also have some 6/47 tickets. I couldn’t resist!

I’ll tell you what. You take one jackpot, I will snag the other, and we will both be retired from the lottery!

Good Luck!!!

The Michigan Lottery website indicated that they used to have a six-digit kicker game like Ohio has. If I remember correctly, they were doing this in the early 1990s. I would like more states to have them since you can have MMDDYY combos winning the lottery.

I know someone born on 03/01/57, and 570301 once won the Ohio Kicker.

Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!
