Michigan Lottery adds Daily 5: a $50,000 game for $1

· By Patrick Gilmore, Founder

Michigan Lottery rounded out its daily-numbers lineup on Monday, August 24, 2026, with the launch of Daily 5, a new in-state draw game that costs $1 per wager and offers a top prize of $50,000, according to the Michigan Lottery.

The game completes the lottery's suite of digit-based daily draws alongside Daily 3 and Daily 4.

How do you play Daily 5?

Players select five numbers from 0 to 9 on a play slip, or choose Easy Pick for a randomly generated combination. Each wager costs $1 and is valid only for the single drawing printed on the ticket.

There are five play types: Straight, Box, 2-Way, 1-Off, and Wheeled. Prize amounts depend on the play type and the order in which the winning numbers are drawn, according to the Michigan Lottery.

What are the prize tiers?

Matching all five digits in exact order on a Straight bet wins the $50,000 top prize, according to the Michigan Lottery. A 2-Way bet pays up to $30,000, and a Box bet pays up to $10,000. Lower-tier prizes are available for partial matches across all play types.

When are Daily 5 results posted?

Drawings take place twice a day, seven days a week: a midday draw at 12:59 p.m. ET and an evening draw at 7:29 p.m. ET. Results are published on the Michigan Lottery's official site and at authorized retailers after each draw.

Where can you buy a Daily 5 ticket?

Tickets are available online through the Michigan Lottery's website and at approximately 10,500 authorized retailers across the state, according to Lottery Post.

How does Daily 5 compare to Daily 3 and Daily 4?

Daily 3 and Daily 4 use three and four digits respectively and carry lower top prizes. Daily 5 adds a fifth digit and raises the maximum payout to $50,000, all at the same $1 entry price point.

What are the odds of winning?

Odds vary by play type. A Straight bet requires all five digits to match in exact order, giving it the longest odds and the highest top prize. A Box bet accepts multiple arrangements, shortening the odds in exchange for a lower prize. Full odds are listed on the WonYet lottery odds page and on the official Michigan Lottery site.

How do you claim a Daily 5 prize?

Prizes up to $599 can be redeemed at any Michigan Lottery retailer. Larger prizes require an appointment at a regional Michigan Lottery office or a mail-in claim. See the WonYet claiming guide for step-by-step instructions, and estimate your take-home amount with the WonYet tax calculator.
