Michigan Classic Lotto 47 Group 5
Started February 28, 2008, ended May 24, 2008

$23.5 Million Michigan Classic Lotto 47 Jackpot, March 1, 2008
Started the temporary group on February 28. The cost per share is $1 and there is no limit on the number of shares. Below is the list of members and the number of shares per member.

This is an unusually large jackpot for this game. The jackpot has rolled since July of last year. The jackpot odds are 1 in 10.7 million. Not only are the odds better than Lotto 649 and the tickets half the cost, but it is unlikely there will be multiple jackpot winners because of the relatively low sales per draw. The expected value (payback) for this draw is estimated at 96%.

There are 98 shares in the group. Bought 102 tickets ($98) for the March 1 draw. Won $10 (2 x $5). The jackpot was won - one winning ticket. Will hold the money until the next large jackpot.

$27 Million Super 7 Bonus Jackpot, May 23, 2008
Bought 5 Super 7 tickets ($10) for the May 23 draw. Did not win anything. This is the end of this group.
