The Michigan Lottery provides a few easy ways to purchase entries to the Powerball drawing.
This is the manual option. You can select your numbers individually, picking however you’d like. The app makes this incredibly easy; it only takes a few taps of the screen to complete your ticket and make your purchase.
Easy pick comes in three increments:
- $6 for 3 tickets
- $10 for 5 tickets
- $20 for 10 tickets
Note that these are not discounted prices. Instead, Easy Pick provides a fast and easy option to get multiple tickets at once. When you choose your purchase level, the system will auto-generate numbers for you. If you don’t want the stress of picking numbers yourself, this is the way to go.
Have a lot of numbers in mind but can’t quite decide which ones to use? Combo My Numbers lets you select 6-10 numbers. From there, the computer generates tickets using various combinations of your selections. This is a great way to plug in birthdays, anniversaries, and lucky numbers.
If you’re a repeat customer, you can save purchases to your Michigan lottery account and re-buy them later for future drawings.
In many ways, Powerball and Mega Millions are near-idental. Both games feature multiple drawings per week and require players to pick six numbers per entry. However, there are small differences, and it helps to keep them in mind when deciding which game to play.
As you can see, the core aspects of each game are very similar. If you’re on the fence about deciding which to play, our response is: Why not both?
Mega Millions and Powerball both provide amazing lottery games, and players can easily switch between the two, especially with online purchases available in Michigan. Many players prefer to stick to whichever game has the higher jackpot at any given time, and that’s a solid approach. Just remember that Mega Millions has slightly worse odds.
The odds may not be in your favor, but winning is completely possible. In 2023, 16 stores have sold winning tickets in Michigan worth more than $1 million.
In January 2021, a Michigan player won $1.05 billion playing Mega Millions.
