Michigan Daily 4 FAQs

Michigan Daily 4 is a lottery that follows the 'Pick 4' format found in a lot of other states. Players must select four numbers from 0 to 9 (duplicates are allowed!) as well as a play type, which sets the conditions for their win. Generally, players win by matching their chosen numbers with the four drawn numbers, but this depends on their play type! Check the How to Play page for more details.

Michigan Lottery holds the Daily 4 drawings twice, well, daily. The Midday draw starts at 12:59 PM, and the Evening draw is at 7:29 PM.

You can buy tickets for the next upcoming Midday drawing up until 12:49 PM, and the cutoff for the Evening draw is 7:08 PM. Tickets purchased after these deadlines but before the imminent drawing will be eligible for the following draw, not the upcoming one.

Daily 4 has 5 main play types to bet on. These are: Straight, Box, Two-Way, Wheel, and 1-Off. How exactly each of these works is explained in detail on our Ways to Play page.

No: unlike many other Pick 4-style games, Michigan's Daily 4 does not feature any paid mini-games or add-ons.

For all play types except Wheel, tickets cost $1, and there is no option to wager more or less on your bet. Wheel plays cost either $4, $6, $12, or $24, depending on how many different combinations you can make with your chosen numbers. You can find out more about this on our Ways to Play page.

The top prize is a cool $5,000, which you can win with a $1 Straight ticket if you manage to match all the numbers in drawn-order. Of course, there are lots of other ways to win. Head to our Odds and Prizes page, where you can check a table displaying all the available prizes.

This depends entirely on the type of bet you've made! For example though, winning the top prize of $5,000 on a $1 ticket has odds of 1 in 10,000, which is pretty darn good as lotteries go. You can check the rest of the odds on our Odds and Prizes page.
