Chance to win larger prizes in daily draw game this month
By Kate Northrop
The Michigan Lottery has announced an upcoming Bonus Draws promotion for its Daily 4 in-state draw game, which will give players an additional chance to win larger prizes during some special drawings.
The Bonus Draws promotion for the Michigan Lottery's Daily 4 game, which is local to the state of Michigan, will start this September.
Starting Sept. 1, Bonus Draws will be announced during certain midday and evening broadcasts of the winning numbers.
During those Bonus Draws, all eligible Daily 4 prizes for that drawing will be increased by 20%, according to the Lottery. The promotion will only run for a "limited time," a press release states, but Straight and Wheeled bets are not eligible for the promotion.
Players can wager Straight, Boxed, Two-Way, 1-Off, and Wheeled, with varying prize amounts based on the selected play type and the order in which the winning numbers are drawn. Each play costs $1.
For a full list of Daily 4 prizes and odds, players can visit Lottery Post's Prizes and Odds page. The winning numbers can be found on Lottery Post's Michigan Lottery Results page.
When purchasing Daily 4 tickets, players may choose their own numbers or opt for a Quick Pick. Daily 4 drawings take place twice a day, seven days a week, first at 12:59 pm EST and again at 7:29 pm EST.

Looks like I won't be playing in the month of September. I know all too well that these promotions makes the game harder to win. While I don't have any proof, I know from past experience
I've seen a lot of people play Daily 3 and 4 but I never was interested in it. The prize amounts are too low for me, but there definitely is a following for those games.
The promotion will only run for a "limited time," a press release states, but Straight and Wheeled bets are not eligible for the promotion.
Then it says you can play wheeled and straight? They are contradicting themselves!!
Of course you don't have any proof. That's because what you wrote is false.
Paying you 20% more on a winning ticket does not make the game harder to win when they're not changing the numbers matrix. You pick 4 numbers, with some type of bet (straight, boxed, etc.), and they pick 4 numbers. A match wins whatever amount, plus 20% in the promotion. Your chances of winning are the same.
The systems that I have used before the promotions get me hits. However, whenever there's any promotions on the game; they continue to fail. It could be due to them changing out the ball machines more frequently. A year or two ago, when they had the red add-on, I did not win once the entire month. The months prior, I was getting some wins.
Unless you're buying many thousands of tickets, you don't have enough data to draw any conclusions.
The 20% bonus doesn't apply to straight and wheeled bets.
That is an insult to our intelligence!
It's a scam!
I don't need to purchase that many tickets. Whenever there is a promotion, I don't win. Its that simple. Even when the red ball was included, I lost a significant amount of times. Without any of them, I'd win and be in the green. A system I use tells me to do xyz, and I'm using it with success, but it does not work whenever there's a promotion. Eleven months out of the year it's successful except for one. But I'm wrong. Ok
So when a red ball was drawn and they did another drawing, it caused you to lose? That is a weird promotion. The regular drawing is a winner, they do a second drawing, so your original win gets canceled? Come on, that is not how it works.
Systems are useless and cause you to make irrational conclusions like this.
During the promotion month, Michigan lottery could be changing out the ball machines more frequently. Systems aren't useless. Using a system is better than playing blindly everyday such as a birthday.
That's not what I said. It would not cancel out my ticket. That would be ridiculous! The entire process of pulling the winning number may be different. Its not an irrational conclusion when I see it for myself, dude. In July 2024, the system was working like a charm! Even though I wasn't winning every single draw (not possible), but even my predictions were accurate. However; in September, it all changed. Its not a one off! It has happened to me every single time they have promotions. Like Marc would always say: Know your state.
