LANSING, Mich. — It's not uncommon for players of the Daily 3 and Daily 4 midday and evening drawings to play some common patterns of numbers, like 1-2-3-4 or 0-0-0.
According the Michigan Lottery, one of those days was Tuesday, Jan. 6, when the Daily 4 evening drawing revealed the winning numbers as: 1-0-0-1.
That meant that winners cashed in on more than $7.4 million in prizes.
Players bought 8,050 tickets with the winning numbers. Those players won prizes ranging from $275 to $5,000, depending on wager type, according to a release.
The pay out and winners "dwarfed typical Daily 4 numbers," Lottery officials said.
Over the last 30 days, an average of 1,416 players won a prize each day in the midday and evening Daily 4 drawings each day. The total average prize payout for the Daily 4 game is about $690,000 per day.
There are five ways to play the Daily 4: Straight, Boxed, Two-way, Wheeled and 1-Off.
Prize amounts vary based on the way a number is played, and on the order in which the winning numbers are drawn. Players may select a four-digit number, or choose an easy pick ticket.
There are two Daily 4 and Daily 3 drawings a day, seven days a week, at 12:59 p.m. and 7:29 p.m. Each play is $1.

what is 1 off ?
anyone care to clarify
i understand the concept.. just never heard of that before.. what is the payout
the number you play still wins if your one number off. example , you play 123 winning number comes in 124 you win.
yeah in NY the sold-out numbers cannot excced 25 million $$ but this lottery only paid out 7 million just think what they made for that one day??/
One of my friends hit that number!
I like to hear these kinds of stories. Wish i had a slice of that pie
In 11/22/2009 a man by the name William Harvey played 2-9-1-2 straight, 700 times for the day drawing. He hit and won $3.5M from NY lottery. Now that's a heavy hit.
Wow! I wonder how many other days he spent for 700 times yet didn't match anything?
Power to the people....yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay happy folks are takin em to the bank !!!
not necessarily. he may just time and read the patterns and knew for 99% those numbers going to drop. No one plays $700 per draw every day.
He had a dream about his mother who I believe was already dead at the time. Her birthday was December 29. I'm surprised that LP didn't carry that story.
Finnally after 7 years 777 came out with only 318 winners. Such a low number of winners in a retirement state. Upon looking even further the amount of winners in the pick3 game has gone down even some drawings having 0 winners.
, maringoman, this is a great story. He set the numbers in an numerical international-date type of style.
Kudos for sharing this story with us.
I'm surprised they make money on this game. NY Lotto just paid out 3 and 5mill within a few days.
1001, it's a palindrome number!
