Prize counts come straight from official Michigan Lottery data. "Odds today" are for one ticket, based on our estimate of how many tickets are still unsold. The jackpot amount is what it was at our last check, Oct 18, 2026 at 9:45 AM, and it keeps growing between checks.
It's the average return for every $1 played, counting every ticket still in the pool and every prize still unclaimed. Most tickets don't win, so any one ticket will land above or below it.
