Once the players get accustomed with this game, they might enjoy playing this game. I hope the management can come up with simpler instructions so every players can follow. I hope they can also offer higher jackpot prize

I'll give it a try before I decide, I'd rather be playing poker around a table, with money, snacks and drinks.

The last online card game Michigan had ended around the same time the daily 4 started. It also was an easy pick only game. I don't remember its name.

I looked at the other states Poker Lotto games and Indiana has a $250,000 top prize on theirs so if they can do it then the other states can too

This Game Started In Ontario 3 Years Ago.

I Played It When It First Came Out Until The Novelty Wore Off.

I've Won Free Plays Often And Won $5 Twice In The Instant Draw.

Most I've Won On The Nightly Was $5 For A 2 Card Match.

Some states consider confusion on scratch-off tickets as a form of entertainment. They figure if you have to think when you lose at least you will have had an experience that you will remember.

Personally I prefer the simple approach, they pick the winning numbers and if I pick different numbers, I lose.

In some states the game is called Five Card Cash and the cost of a ticket and the payoffs are basically the same. It's a two part game with the first part being like a video poker machine; if you match a pair of jacks or better, you instantly win. Because it's a two part game the payoffs are based on a $1 bet. If you bet $1 on a video poker machine and get two pair, you win $2 and the payoff is the same in this game. A Three of a Kind payoff is even higher at $5 to $1.

The second part of the... [ More ]

Andy Bekins of Party World happened to be at the Lottery counter when I walked in, and he explained the process and showed me how to play.

Timeout for a second.

One of the worst lottery games to play....

Want that $5,000? Ha! You have a better chance winning the Fantasy 5 jackpot ($100,000+). Looking forward to that $100,000 nightly drawing? Ha again! You still have a better chance winning the Fantasy 5 jackpot and you have a better chance winning the Daily Keno jackpot ($250,000).

Poker Lotto games have been growing in popularity very quickly. The first ones starting appearing in Canada, and now they're spreading in the U.S. Seems like a nice, different game.

I'm sure you know what i mean. And yes i can be a joker. Sorta wish they had a joker in the mix of cards. Would make the odds a little better.

FYI: Cost 2 dollars. Receiving your money back does not count as a win.

I've played it on day one, was the first person to play at that store. I've spent $162 dollars on this game so far and have won $20.00, Pffft. I'm not happy with the game winners/payout's.

#1) I do not believe there has been a $100,000 winner yet and very few $5000 instant winners, if not only 1 so far.

#2) I do not like computer drawn games which this must be.

This game will be a flash in the pan if people don't start winning.

Sounds like a game that belongs on a Riverboat Casino.

Some players confused by new Michigan Lottery poker game

Lottery Post — Sun, 03 Nov 2013 20:33:20 GMT

It debuted Oct. 19, but Poker Lotto, a new daily lottery drawing by the Michigan Lottery, is still trying to gain the attention and understanding among lottery players.

It has created a little confusion, too, said lottery officials.

It's so new that we're getting so many calls in Lansing, said Gretchen Villareal of the Michigan Lottery. People are not grasping the concept of instant wins and the nightly draw.
