Michigan Lottery players that enjoy bingo and scratch-off games may potentially have found a way to do both. In Bonus Ball Bingo, players can enjoy the bingo mindset but also scratch to reveal their numbers.
One lucky player recently from Grandville purchased their ticket from Sunnybrook Junction and was able to win big. The anonymous player was able to reveal the top prize of $300,000.
Top Prize: $300,000
Price: $5.00
Overall Odds: 1 in 3.73
How to Play
Check to see if this game is available at your local lottery retailer or by going online to the Michigan Lottery website and search for retailers that do. Once you have purchased your ticket, there are four steps to follow when playing this ticket.
First, you will need to scratch the Caller’s Card in order to reveal the 40 Bingo numbers. Then you have to scratch the Bonus Bingo Ball Numbers in order to reveal three bonus numbers and three prize amounts.
Second, you will need to do some more scratching. Simply scratch off the numbers for both of the 10 Cards that potentially match the Caller’s Card and the Bonus Bingo Ball numbers.
If you think you won a prize, simply check out the prize arrow for the card you are playing on. This will show you specific rules or what to look for in prizes but keep in mind that every winning Bonus Bingo Ball number will only win one time.
Finally, look out for when every time one of your Bonus Bingo Ball numbers happens to show up in Cards 1 through 10. This means you will win a prize that is shown for that specific Bonus Bingo Ball number.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize are 1 in 3.73. Purchasing another ticket, at $5 each, can increase your chances but keep in mind the costs.
