The winners of a contest to find the furry faces of a new Michigan Lottery instant game have been revealed.

In November, the Michigan Lottery asked pet owners to submit photos and short bios of their dogs as part of a contest that would select 30 pups to appear on tickets for a new game called Lucky Dog.
