If playing online, players must have a Michigan Lottery account. To play, simply pick six numbers that span from one to 47. You could add more features to the ticket at the time of purchase. 

 

The Double Play addition allows you to use the same exact numbers currently on the ticket for another drawing on the spot. The jackpot for this is set at $1.5 million. 

 

EZmatch is the other option available to you. This allows you to win up to $500 if you can match your number with the EZmatch number provided for the draw.
