The Michigan Lottery will use its first Super Bowl ad to kick off three weeks of advertising to promote the online games that it offers to players.
The 30-second ad focuses on how players may use their smartphones, tablets, and computers to play the games. The ad will be shown twice during the game in the Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Flint markets and once in the Traverse City market. The cost for the Super Bowl ads is about $216,000.
After the Super Bowl premiere, the ad and variations of the ad will be aired on TV and radio stations around the state.

By state law, all net proceeds from Lottery games go to the School Aid fund. In the 2015 fiscal year, the Lottery contributed a record $795.5 million to the fund, which supports public education in Michigan.
