Michigan Lottery adds a brand-new game to the lineup

Michigan Lottery players have a brand-new game to add to their daily routine, and it comes with prizes up to $50,000. Starting August 24, 2026, the Daily 5 draw game officially launches. This new draw game will give players a chance to pick five numbers and choose from several different ways to wager. Tickets for the new game cost $1 per play, and with two drawings held every day, this is definitely a game players won’t have to wait long to find out if they’ve won. We are sharing some details players need to know before giving Michigan’s new draw game a try.

How to play the new Daily 5 game

For Michigan Lottery players, the new Daily 5 draw game is just like the Daily 3 and Daily 4 draw games already in play.

To play Daily 5, players start by choosing five numbers from 0 through 9. If you don’t want to select your own numbers, you can choose Easy Pick, and the computer will generate the numbers for you instead.

From there, players can choose how they want to wager on those five numbers. There are five different bet types available:

• Straight
• Box
• 2-Way
• 1-Off
• Wheeled

The amount a player can win depends on the bet selected and, in some cases, the order in which the winning numbers are drawn.

This gives players some flexibility in deciding how they want to chase a prize rather than relying on just one way to win.

How much can Daily 5 players win?

For the Daily 5 game, the biggest prize available is $50,000 when betting on a Straight wager. To win that amount, a player’s five numbers must match the winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn.

For 2-Way wagers, players can win up to $30,000, while Box wagers can win prizes up to $10,000. Other prize amounts depend on the type of wager and how closely a player’s numbers match the results.

While $50,000 may not grab headlines like a massive Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot, Daily 5 offers something those games can’t: two chances to win every single day!

Two drawings every day

While you have to wait a few days in between your Mega Millions or Powerball drawings, that’s not the case for Daily 5 players.

The Daily 5 drawings are scheduled for 12:59 p.m. EST and 7:29 p.m. EST every day of the week. That means there will be 14 drawings each week, including weekends.

This twice-daily schedule could make the game more appealing to players who prefer frequent drawings and fixed prizes instead of watching a jackpot grow over weeks or months.

Where can players buy tickets?

Tickets for the Daily 5 draw game are available to purchase at approximately 10,500 Michigan Lottery retailers across the state. Players will also be able to purchase tickets online through the Michigan Lottery website and app.

This $1 starting prize makes Daily 5 one of the more affordable ways for players to try their luck. With five ways to play, two drawings every day, and a top prize of $50,000, Michigan Lottery players now have another choice when deciding which numbers to put to the test.

Enjoy playing the Michigan Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
