For the first time, Michigan Lottery players will have an opportunity to win $8 million instantly with the launch of a new instant game called $8,000,000 Payout. The game is set to be available starting March 3. Each ticket costs $50 and gives players 50 chances to win prizes that range from $50 up to the top prize of $8 million. This is the largest top prize ever offered in a Michigan Lottery instant game.

Alongside this record-setting prize, the new game will also provide more than $29 million in commissions for retailers throughout Michigan.

Lottery instant games can be purchased at various retail locations across the state. In 2024, players collectively won almost $1.8 billion from instant games.
