Summer Cookout, an instant win game offered by the Michigan Lottery, has been quite the popular game since its debut earlier this month. Players love the theme for the Fourth of July cookouts and the American patriotic symbols associated with it.
On top of that, the jackpot prize of $60,000 is another good reason to play. The entry price to play the game is manageable, too, with less than two dollars to spread the love around.

If you happen to reveal five firework symbols anywhere on the grid, then you will play the firework frenzy bonus. This bonus is also guaranteed to win a single prize.
There are six levels to that bonus, each giving you the opportunity to select a firework to move onto the next round. If you run out of fireworks, then the bonus round is over, and you can start a new game.
