(US).- A million dollar jackpot on a USD 20 online stake made one Michigan state lottery online punter a very happy camper this week. The unidentified online gambler hit the million dollar bonanza – the biggest prize since online operations launched late last year – on the appropriately titled Diamond Payout scratch card game.

Lottery estimates anticipate that online sales will top US$ 480 million over the site’s first eight years of operation, and the numbers indicate a brisk start.

In other developments in Michigan, bills HB4077 and SB75 have been introduced to the state legislature proposing an exercise to request tenders from private enterprises to run the state lottery in order to assess whether the lottery could perform better under external management.
