Brad,You also have to keep in mind that the more tickets they sell, the more winners they will probably have, which means a lower payout per winner.If I were you I would expect $5 for matching 3 out of 6 (which is guaranteed) and anything over that is super terrific. After all $5 for matching 3 out of 6 is better than most lotto drawings in the country.

ok maybe 200 is kind high for 1 in 50 something odds for matching three but maybe around 50 which is about 10 times. Maybe more. They should sell a lot of tickets for the first couple drawings until we find out that we still buy losers. haha But something more than 10 times would be nice to have for the first drawings.

I don't think there will be any $200 prizes for matching 3-of-6. The first six or so draws would pay the lower tiers about 10x, we'll see.

Crap never mind. I kinda forgot that the 26 million is an annuity too. Well there goes my theory. Maybe not they should sell a lot of tickets still.

Yeah but guys listen. They are taking the $5,000,000 from Michigan Millions and just throwing it into Winfall. So bam right there is double than what the jackpot annuity is. If someone wins the jackpot in the first drawing they don't get 5 million they get the 2.5 annuity. So that is an extra 2.5 mill that is going to be distributed to lower tier prizes not to mention the amount of money they are going to get from selling tickets for those drawings. With a new game with all this hype I bet... [ More ]

The 27 million or so in Michigan Millions would be paid out over five or six draws, not just the first WINFALL drawing.

Well you have to keep in mind that a non-hit WINFALL jackpot is pari-mutuel and based on how many winners there are at ALL levels. So I think the only way the 3 out of 6 payout would be $200 is if no one hits 5 out of 6.

The jackpot for Michigan Millions is at 26+ million right now. If now one wins it by saturday then it rolls over to WINFALL. That is 5 million a draw for the next 6 draws. Do you know how much the prizes are going to be! There are going to be huge. I wouldn't be suprised to see $200 prizes for just matching 3 numbers! That would be awesome! I can't wait until Sunday. I am going to purchase the first WINFALL ticket in Michigan. haha First drawing is a little over a week away!Brad... [ More ]
