                              Below $5 million                    At $5 million

  Match 6                    Jackpot                             If no one wins

  Match 5                      $2,500                              $25,000*

  Match 4                      $100                                  $1,000*

  Match 3                          $5                                        $5*

  * = estimated

  When below $5 million jackpot the prizes are guaranteed

  Odds

  Jackpot:  1 in 13,983,816

  Match 5:  1 in 54,201

  Match 4:  1 in 1032

  Match 3:  1 in 57

  Overall Odds:  1 in 54

  I think they should of just had the jackpot at $5 mill all the time.  And that is what you would receive after taxes.  No annuity.  Just $5 mil top prize after taxes.  But that just sounds to good.

  If every drawing had a top prize of $5 Mil, wouldn't the state need to sell $10 Mil+ in tickets to cover the jackpot? Even though MI is a good sized state I doubt that many tickets would be sold. Especially since Mega Millions is offered.

  No they would just save enough from the first couple of drawings to cover the $5,000,000.  You don't see to many Jackpot winners here now.

  Brad: The PB winner will be on CNBC at 9:35 am ET. It would be interesting if the WINFALL idea spreads.

  I think it should.  I say the PB winner on CBS's early show at 9:30...mmmmm...haha...i mean it is nice and everything but what is the point of giving ONE person $111,000,000?? What couldn't 111 people get $1,000,000?  What can a person do with that much money?

  It looks like the Michigan (and Georgia) "change" games have become the biggest flops of 2002.

  "Michigan Millions" and the Hoosier "Max 5" games each will be retired soon (according to "official" sources.) Any other on-line games about to be canned?
