How to Play
Lucky 7’s are part of the Fast Cash series of games offered by the Michigan Lottery. These games are unique in a variety of ways. One is that they never sell out since they are in conjunction with other games in the system. As soon as one ticket sells, you will know if you win anything or not.
In addition, players can buy tickets and win on the spot. If you do not win anything, the money, of course, feeds the jackpot.
These games are usually a fan favorite since you do not need to do anything special as far as picking out numbers or waiting for a drawing. Everything is in real-time, with the information on the ticket you are purchasing.
For this particular game, all you have to do is match your numbers to the winning numbers to see if you won a prize. If you happen to have the word “jackpot” under a match, then you will win 100 percent of the current jackpot amount.
Also, if a match ends with a 7 (07, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, or 77), then the prize is doubled.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize for this game are 1 in 3.00. To increase your chances of winning anything, you can purchase an additional ticket.
