If
you don't want to choose your own numbers,
mark the "Easy Pick" box on the playslip
and the computer will randomly select
your numbers.

When
you have completed your playslip, return
it to any Michigan lottery retailer
with the amount of the wager.
Your selected numbers will be entered
in the next drawing and you will receive
a game ticket.
