Lottery winners get free tuition

The Michigan Lottery’s new instant ticket, which awards eight prizes of a four-year college tuition, won’t be available to college students, Michigan Lottery spokeswoman Andi Brancato said.

As a second-chance drawing for losing tickets, the state is giving away eight Michigan Educational Trust contracts for four-year tuition to any in-state public college or university.

Aimed at parents and grandparents, the MET program can’t be used by students enrolled in college or graduate school.

The top prize for the $5 ticket is $200,000.
