Which odds are more likely to happen, a person winning more than a million dollars or two players winning a million each while playing the same game? Well, the latter happened with Millionaire Maker II.
One player from Lenox purchased their ticket at a Meijer while the other from Spring Lake at a Wesco. This is the latest game offered by the Michigan Lottery, after quickly running out of the first edition known as Millionaire Maker.
Game Details
Top Prize: $1,000,000
Price: $20.00
Overall Odds: 1 in 4.25
How to Play
Players will be thrilled to know that none of the prizes that you can win will be under $40. With several bonus options and plenty of prizes, this could be why this game is a hit.
There are several cash bonuses that you could reveal. In the “$40”, “$50”, “$100”, “$200”, or a “$500” prize symbol spots, revealing one of those for that location will allow you to win instantly.
Continuing down the ticket, you will notice your main playing section. If any of your numbers match up with the winning numbers, you have a winning ticket. The prizes will be awarded based on what you matched.
A few bonus symbols might also be in your future too. If you manage to show a “$$” symbol, then you will win two times the prize on the spot. Looking at the other bonus, the “Stack of Cash” symbol will allow you to take $100.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning just any prize in Millionaire Maker II come in at 1 in 4.25. Buying another ticket will slightly increase your chances since that is another ticket not in play anymore.
Every ticket costs $20, so most players will need to set up a budget or keep spending to a minimum. These types of games could break the bank quickly, so playing responsibly is important.
In just a short amount of time, a few players have won a million. Now that two have won on the same day, the jackpot tickets seem to be quickly disappearing. Below you will see the updated table of prizes.
| Prize | Remaining | Start |
|---|---|---|
| $1 million | 9 | 12 |
| $5,000 | 26 | 30 |
| $500 | 1,631 | 1,840 |
| $200 | 13,924 | 15,725 |
| $100 | 319,958 | 362,213 |
| $50 | 398,969 | 451,470 |
| $40 | 575,718 | 650,916 |
| Total | 1,310,235 | 1,482,206 |
