Michigan Lottery's Big Game Jackpot Climbs to $100 Million29 January 2001LANSING, Michigan --(Press Release) -- Jan. 29, 2001 -- Imagine earning more than $10,000 in a single day! That dream could become a reality tomorrow night for a lucky Michigan Lottery player -- if the right Big Game combination can be found! The estimated jackpot for the Tuesday, January 30, 2001 Big Game drawing reached $100 million after no one matched all six numbers in the Friday, January 26 drawing. If one winning ticket matches all six numbers and the player has selected annuity payments over 26 years, the $100 million jackpot would amount to pre-tax payments of roughly: $3.84 million annually; -- $73,964 per week; or -- $10,566 per day! For those who prefer to take their cash winnings up-front, it's a pretty nice payday as well. If one lucky cash-option player matches all six winning numbers, he or she will take home a check for approximately $54 million (before taxes), the estimated present cash value of Tuesday's jackpot! |
