What Michigan charges, and what you get for it

Higher-priced tickets almost always carry better overall odds and a higher payout rate, because the prize pool scales faster than the ticket price. This table is the state's own catalog, grouped by price.

Michigan lottery sales by fiscal year

Straight from the lottery's published annual reports. Per-resident figures divide instant sales by the state population from the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates Program (Vintage 2025) (10,077,761 residents), so they count every resident rather than only adults or only players.

FY2019$1.66B$3.88B42.6%$164$1.07B

Instant-game sales moved +36.8% across FY2019-FY2025. That figure is nominal dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and part of any increase reflects higher-priced tickets rather than more tickets sold.

Sources for this table

Michigan runs a fiscal year ending September 30. Total sales is the "total lottery ticket sales" product line, not the larger total-operating-revenues figure that adds charitable gaming. Michigan books its online instant games as net win, meaning sales minus prizes, so its total is not comparable to states that book online play at gross handle. The transfer column is the School Aid Fund payment alone, which is smaller than Michigan's total disbursements to all funds.

Michigan sales by game, FY2025

Every product line the Michigan lottery prints in its FY2025report, largest first within each group. Share is each line's part of the total across the lines shown here. Online play is booked differently by every lottery, so its accounting basis is printed beside the figure and it is not directly comparable to a retail line.

How fast Michigan top prizes get claimed

We snapshot every game's remaining prize counts daily, so we can show depletion rather than just the current number. This counts the drop in top prizes remaining each month across 98 tracked games whose top prize is $10,000 or more, 32 claimed in total over the window. No other site publishes this.

Top prizes claimed per month. A game that launched mid-window only contributes claims recorded after its first snapshot, so its opening month reads low.

Common questions

How many scratch-off games does Michigan have?

Michigan currently has 106 active scratch-off games across 7 price points, from $1 to $50. 10 launched in the last 90 days.

What are the average odds on a Michigan scratch-off?

Across all 106 active games the average published overall odds are 1 in 4.06. The single best game right now is 1 in 3.10. Overall odds count every prize tier, including prizes equal to the ticket price.

How much unclaimed top-prize money is left in Michigan?

At least $244.4M in top prizes is still unclaimed across Michigan's active games, covering 199 individual top prizes. Treat that as a floor. We count only games whose top prize is $10,000 or more, only games whose lottery publishes a remaining count, and only the top tier of each game.

How much does Michigan sell in scratch-off tickets?

Michigan reported $2.3B in instant-game sales in FY2025, which is 49.5% of all lottery sales. That works out to $225 per resident. Figures come from Michigan Lottery FY2025 ACFR (year ended September 30, 2025).

How these numbers are built
Game counts, odds, payout rates and remaining prizes come from the Michiganlottery's own game pages, re-scraped daily. Top-prize figures count only games whose top prize is $10,000 or more: a game topping out at $100 can print hundreds of thousands of them, which would swamp every real jackpot in the total. Monthly claim counts come from our snapshot archive, which starts in March 2026. Sales figures are typed in by hand from annual reports and each row links the document it came from. Where a lottery does not publish a figure we show a dash rather than filling the gap, which is why some columns are sparse for some states.
