How to Play Viva Las Jackpots
To win in Viva Las Jackpots, players must match a cluster of three or more of the same symbol to win prizes. Symbols include a diamond, a gem, a golden horseshoe, a club, a spade, a heart, a pair of cherries, and the number seven.
Players finding three “free games” symbols earn ten free games, and finding three instajackpot symbols unlocks the instajackpot minigame while finding a multiplier symbol on the grid will be applied to any winning combinations on the grid.
Matching three of the same symbols will earn a prize multiplier ranging from 0.1x to 5x, while matching up 12 symbols multiples the prize from 5x to 2000x.
Players can win prizes up to a $40,000 jackpot instantly.
Second Chance Jackpots Explained
Online instant win game players are familiar with their second chances to win from playing Michigan lottery instant win games. For new players, on top of potentially winning prizes instantly from playing, every $0.50 wagered in participating online instant win games earns players one entry into the progressive Jackpot.
Viva Las Jackpots joinings Monthly Jackpot, Mystery Vault, Lucky Start, and Michigan Multiplier Wilds on the Michigan Lottery’s lineup of games that earn players entry into the second chance progressive jackpots. Players should note entries are only valid for the monthly jackpot draw which they were earned for. You cannot roll entries over from monthly period to monthly period.
The progressive jackpot starts with a $5,000 baseline value and escalates throughout the month. Once the entry period has closed, one lucky Michigan Resident has their entry drawn and is awarded the jackpot at whatever value it has accumulated throughout the month.
Since the second chance progressive jackpot prizes have been introduced, the Michigan Lottery has paid players second chance jackpot prizes ranging from a low of $97,885 in October 2022 to a high of $403,618 in January 2023. The more people play, the more chances players have to win, and the progressive jackpot will reach higher values.
