The short answer. Michigan Lotto 47 draws six numbers from a single set of 47, on
Wednesday and Saturday at 7:29 PM Eastern. Match all six in any order for the jackpot; there is no bonus
ball and no second pool. One thing sets this page apart from the rest of the site: we record this game from
a single publisher rather than two, and the section below says what that changes.

6 numbers from 1–47 |
Wednesday and Saturday |
7:29 PM ET |
The number in the name is the pool. Forty-seven balls, six of them drawn, and the figure on the ticket is
the whole of the format — a naming habit worth appreciating, given how many lotteries call a game
something evocative and leave you to hunt for the pool size in a rulebook. Six drawn from 47, twice a week,
order irrelevant, no seventh figure of any kind.
Balls do not return to the machine mid-draw, so the six are always different. If you ever see a Lotto 47 row
with a repeated number, something has gone wrong in the copying, not in the draw.

Michigan Lotto 47 top-prize odds: there are 10,737,573 ways to choose 6 numbers from 1–47, so matching all of them with one line is 1 in 10,737,573. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.
Why this page carries one source, and what that means
Nearly every game on this site is recorded from two independent publishers. Their numbers have to agree
before a draw is treated as settled, and a figure that appears in one record but not the other is held back
rather than published. That rule is the reason the archive is worth reading, and it is set out in full in our
methodology.
For Michigan Lotto 47 we could not find a second publisher that carries the game. So this one stands on a
single record, and rather than quietly list it beside the others we would rather you knew.
What the second record normally buys
Two independent records catch the errors that a single one cannot see: a draw filed under the wrong date, a
transcription slip in one digit, or a page that has quietly stopped updating and is serving last
week’s numbers as though they were tonight’s. None of those announce themselves. They are found
by comparison, and with one record there is nothing to compare against.
What is still checked here
The structural tests apply to this game exactly as they do to the rest. A row is rejected unless it holds
six numbers, all different, all inside 1 to 47, and unless it is filed under the draw date rather than the
date it was read. Those checks have caught real problems elsewhere on the site, including a page serving
another country’s game under an American name. What they cannot catch is a plausible wrong number
that nothing contradicts.
What that means for you
Treat a Lotto 47 row here as a pointer rather than a verdict. That is true of every result on every site
that is not the operator’s own, and it is more true here: confirm anything that looks like a win with
the Michigan Lottery before you act on it. We would also rather hear about a discrepancy than not, and a
correction ships the same day.
It would have been easy to pad the list with a second address that merely copies the first. That buys the
appearance of cross-checking and none of the substance, because two records that share an origin fail
together. One documented source is the honest version. The only other game on the site standing in the same
position is WILD 5 in the UAE, the newest Emirates draw, which no second
publisher carries either; our WILD 5 guide covers how that game works.
How does a pool of 47 compare with the other state games?
Michigan sits in the middle of a tight cluster. Four of the state games this site records draw six numbers
from a single pool, and the pools differ by only a few balls — which turns out to matter more than it
looks. Every figure below is computed from each game’s own format.
Four state games that draw six from one pool
| Game | Pool | Drawn | Jackpot odds, one line |
|---|
| New Jersey Pick 6 |
6 from 46 |
Monday, Thursday and Saturday |
1 in 9,366,819 |
| Michigan Lotto 47 |
6 from 47 |
Wednesday and Saturday |
1 in 10,737,573 |
| Ohio Classic Lotto |
6 from 49 |
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday |
1 in 13,983,816 |
| Illinois Lotto |
6 from 50 |

One ball separates New Jersey from Michigan, and that single ball lengthens the odds by about
15 per cent. Four balls separate Michigan from Illinois, and the odds
grow by roughly half again. Nothing about a lottery’s advertising moves its mathematics as much as a
quiet change to the pool, which is why our pages state the pool beside every game and compute the odds from
it instead of repeating a figure from a leaflet.
The other three of those four draw three nights a week. Michigan is the only six-ball game in the state group
that draws twice, and both of its nights are shared with
Florida Lotto and
New York Lotto, which makes Thursday and Sunday mornings busy ones for
anyone following six-ball games.

Converted for 25 October 2026. US clocks change in March and November, which moves every US draw by an hour against the Gulf and India; this table is recalculated every time the page loads.
7:29 PM Eastern is an early draw by American standards, and early there means the small hours here. Nobody
in the Gulf or South Asia is going to watch this one live, which in practice is fine: the numbers are
recorded long before morning, so the result you find at breakfast is the finished one rather than a page
mid-update.
Mind the date, as always. A Saturday draw in Michigan becomes a Sunday-morning result in Dubai or Delhi, and
the archive files it under the Michigan date. The hour also moves when American clocks change in March and
November, which is why the table above is worked out live for today rather than written down. The whole US
schedule, converted, is in
US lottery draw times for India and the UAE.
How do I check a Michigan Lotto 47 ticket?
- Open the Michigan Lotto 47 results page, where the newest draw is at the top with its Michigan date.
- Match the date first. Your local date is very likely a day ahead of it.
- Look for each of your six numbers anywhere in the drawn six. Order plays no part at all.
- Count the matches, then read the Michigan Lottery’s own tier table for what the count is worth. No prize figures are published here.
- Because this game rests on a single record, confirm anything promising against the operator before you treat it as a win. That is the practical meaning of the caveat above.
- For older draws, use the dated archive on the same page.
Lotto 47 sits alongside the other single-state games on
US state lottery results. Every draw the site records, Emirates
games included, is listed on winning numbers, and
how to check results covers the general routine.
We are not the Michigan Lottery. This is an independent results archive, unaffiliated with any
operator, and it sells nothing. Prices, prize values and who may play are set by the lottery and depend on
where you are. A twice-weekly game is easy to treat as a habit; keep it a small one.
What twice a week does to the way you follow a game
A daily draw trains you to check daily. Two draws a week train nothing, which is why people miss Lotto 47
results more often than they miss results from busier games: there is no rhythm to fall into, and five days
out of seven the page looks exactly as it did the last time you opened it.
The fix is to anchor the check to a morning rather than to the game. Thursday and Sunday are the two
mornings a new Michigan result exists, and both are shared with other six-ball draws worth a glance. The
slow schedule also means the archive here is shorter than it looks for a game of this age, which is a fair
reminder that a frequency count from a thin archive tells you even less than usual. Ours are published on
lucky numbers with the measurement that shows how little any of them predict.
