Michigan lottery fever grows as Lotto 47 climbs past $20 million

Only three other times has the jackpot climbed this high. Will this be the one that breaks records?

Michigan's favorite in-state jackpot game is heating up again, and this time, it's entering record-breaking territory. With each rollover, Lotto 47 fans are wondering: how high can it go before someone strikes gold?

Jackpot run continues

The Lotto 47 draw game from the Michigan Lottery is currently on a 58-draw jackpot run. The last time the jackpot was won took place on April 23, 2025.

For that drawing, one lucky ticket purchased in Kalamazoo matched all six of the winning numbers drawn to win the $5.46 million jackpot. The jackpot then reset to $1 million for the next drawing, which took place on April 26, 2025.

The 58th drawing in this current jackpot run took place last night, November 12, 2025. The winning numbers were 2, 11, 13, 14, 21, and 42.

No tickets matched all six of the winning numbers drawn, so the $19.65 million jackpot rolled over again. Now the jackpot stands at $20.3 million for the 59th drawing in this jackpot run, which will take place on Saturday, November 15.

While there were no jackpot-winning tickets sold for the November 12 drawing, there were plenty of other winning tickets sold. Lottery officials said there were over 35,000 non-jackpot winning tickets sold for last night's drawing. Those winning tickets also paid out over $460,000 in prizes.

Fourth time game has passed $20 million

While the jackpot continues to grow, we are seeing record-breaking numbers happening. With the current jackpot at $20.3 million, this is just the fourth time in the game's history that the jackpot has passed $20 million since the game debuted on May 18, 2005.

The other three times that the jackpot passed $20 million took place on:

  • $32.3 million – won on November 7, 2020.
  • $23.5 million – won on March 1, 2008.
  • $22.6 million – won on February 18, 2017.

We haven't seen a jackpot grow this high since 2020 in Michigan. The biggest jackpot in Lotto 47 history was won in November, also. Can November 2025 also be lucky for one lucky Michigan Lottery player?

Other draw games to pay attention to

Yes, Michigan Lottery players are excited about the Lotto 47 jackpot and possibly winning the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history. However, there are some other draw games players can focus on right now, too:

  • Mega Millions – This multi-state draw game is also making its way through a record-breaking jackpot run, as the jackpot has grown to $965 million for the Friday, November 14, drawing.
  • Powerball – This multi-state draw game isn't too far behind, as the jackpot has grown to $546 million for the Saturday, November 15, drawing.
  • Fantasy 5 – This daily in-state draw game has a jackpot available of $121,000 for tonight's drawing at 7:29 p.m. EST.
  • Lucky for Life – This daily multi-state draw game is available for Michigan Lottery players. It offers a top prize of $1,000 a day for life.

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