"Back pair Payout" returnsby Commissioner Gary Peters
From March 1 through March 21, 2004, Daily 4 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,
making it easier to win than any other Daily 4 prize. This great new
promotion applies to both Daily 4 drawings—midday (12:59 p.m.)
and evening (7:29 p.m.). With all of these extra $10 winners coming to your stores
to collect their prizes, you can look forward to increased sales, as
many players will want to try their luck again. Just like any other
prize cashed in-store, retailers will also receive the 2 percent redemption
commission on every valid back pair match paid. Palace Winner Five finalists were chosen out of more than 900 qualified
entries—all players who won $1,000 prizes in the “$2,000,000
Fortune” instant game. These five finalists participated in an
on-court event held during halftime of the Detroit Pistons vs. Washington
Wizards game. The five finalists ran onto center court at the Palace
of Auburn Hills. Balls were drawn from a giant tumbler and finalists
were eliminated, one by one, until Muskegon native William Schad was
the last finalist standing. “The whole experience was unbelievable,” Schad
said. He felt like a star as he made his way up through the stands,
receiving applause and high fives from the audience. As soon as he saw
his wife, Lori, Schad ran to her and hugged her, as they celebrated
becoming instant multimillionaires. Schad purchased the $1,000 winning ticket that entered
him into the finalist drawing at Wesco #49 in Muskegon. “Casino Millions,” which went on sale December
4, is the Lottery’s newest $20 instant ticket, offering more than
1,000 prizes of $1,000 that, when claimed before the deadline, automatically
enter each winner into a $2,000,000 grand-prize drawing. The grand-prize
drawing for “Casino Millions” will be held in the summer of
2004. Thanks A Million Abbey Wine & Liquor Shop, Southfield New Instants |
Some
of the Lottery’s most popular promotions have been tied to the
Daily 3 & 4 games, and the “Back Pair Payout” promotion
is no exception. That is why I am pleased to announce the return of
the Daily 4 “Back Pair Payout” promotion.
