You and Rman313 isn't the only one .. I know I heard 296 for Friday Midday lottery. I also, thought I saw a 6 at the end instead of a 9. Honestly, Michigan Lottery the last couple of months has been crazy.
I've sat back and watched here and there .. and it's almost like Michigan Lottery have a quota of amount of money they're trying to get at a certain time, so they're having players to chase numbers and jackpot prizes.
For 2 years there hasn't been any bonus promotions for Michigan 3 digit lottery while the 4 digit has quarterly Bonus Draw, and 20% Bonus win.
During the summer it took over 200 days for a double to come in Evening I think.
It took over a year for 11X to come for Midday 3 digit lottery which is the longest I've seen any pair to come out in a 3 digit.
They had the big Raffle promotion that they advertised during the summer for months that ended around October, the Fast Cash has been over $1,000,000 for 3 months since October to a record breaking over $2 Million, someone won half the Fast Cash jackpot in November, to drop to over $1 Million again to climb black up to a record breaking $3 Million this December, which is the largest in Michigan lottery history for Fast Cash.
For almost half a year the Lotto 47 climbed up to the largest Lotto 47 jackpot in history of $29 Million this December which was won recently.
Now we have doubles nearly everyday for 2 weeks. It's been a couple of years before we've seen a quad while several states have had them more than once this year.
I understand the lottery is a game of chance, however as it's leading into the new year most people has slowed and stopped playing Michigan lottery unless it's Powerball, Mega Millions and Lucky For Life.
Even some of the posters on here has left, too. Cause of the Michigan lottery antics, I think some people's finances and interest is going to fade away from Michigan Lottery. I heard some people stopped playing cause their tired of the antics as well losing money.
I think going in 2026 even more people may stop playing as a New Years resolution cause even though the Michigan Lottery is a game of chance, but way back in the past a lot of moments the Michigan Lottery was FAIR and FUN ... but, not anymore cause FAIR and FUN is something that the Michigan Lottery hasn't been in awhile.
