Michigan Lottery Introduces 'Back Pair Payout' Promotion

In the Daily 4 game, Lottery players simply choose any four-digit number and then place a $1 bet for that drawing. There are three different ways to place bets in the Daily 4 game -- straight, boxed and two-way. If a player chooses to play a number straight, he or she would need to match the number he or she picked in the exact order chosen to win a $5,000 cash prize.

Beginning September 3, 2001 and running through September 29, 2001, players whose $1 straight bets match the last two numbers drawn will receive a $10 payout. The odds of matching the back pair are a mere 1 in 101, which is much easier to win than any other Daily 4 prize! Daily 4 winning numbers are drawn twice a day -- midday (12:58 p.m.) and evening (7:28 p.m.) -- and this great new promotion applies to both the midday and evening Daily 4 drawings.

``Some of the Lottery's most popular promotions have been tied to the Daily 3 & 4 games,'' Acting Michigan Lottery Commissioner Jim Kipp said. ``The odds of winning in the 'Back Pair Payout' promotion are very good. The 'Front Pair Payout' promotion that took place earlier this year was a huge hit with players, and I am confident our players will be very excited about this new offering.''

The Lottery estimates that over $700,000 more will be paid out in Daily 4 prizes over the course of the four-week promotion to lucky players all over the state. The ``Back Pair Payout'' promotion will be supported by statewide television, radio and newspaper advertising.
