This question came to me because it always seems here in MI, that the lottery never, and I mean NEVER, decides to put more than 4 top prizes in any new scratch game. Even the 2nd prizes are almost non-existent. Usually, if you look at the odds (which of course they don't make available online), the odds for hitting the top prize OR the 2nd prize are almost always the same - usually around 1 in 1,700,000 for BOTH first and second prizes.
