How to Play Black Pearls

Players must purchase Black Pearls in lottery retailers. You can either visit your favorite or check online at the Michigan Lottery website to find one nearest you.

To begin, players must scratch to reveal the ticket. Once revealed, look for any matches between your numbers and any of the winning numbers. If any matches have been made, you will win a prize according to that match.

If you reveal a win symbol, then you will win that prize on the spot. If you happen to match any of your numbers to the “win all” number, then you will win all 12 prizes that are shown.

There are three bonus spots of clamshells to win additional prizes. Simply scratch to reveal and see if you won the $10, $20, or $50 prize.

Odds, Price, and Prizes for Black Pearls

The overall odds of winning a single prize in Black Pearls are one in 4.00. These are solid odds to win a prize, but you could potentially increase them slightly.

By purchasing an additional ticket, you are removing a ticket from regulation. These will slightly boost the odds in your favor, but it might take a while to see results, especially since the game is new.

Each ticket will cost you $5 per play, so only purchase another one if your budget allows. You could also try visiting other stores and buying a ticket from there.

The recent jackpot winner took home the first jackpot prize, so now only two remain. The second-best prize is $2,000, with eight of those remaining. Below you can see what prizes are still out there.
