$5,000 Welcome Bonus
It’s been an eventful summer for multi-state lottery games. The Powerball jackpot recently rose to $1 billion, and a lucky player in Los Angeles, California had the winning ticket.
When you join the Michigan Lottery using our exclusive bonus code and link, you’ll get access to a 50% deposit match bonus up to $100.
When you join the Michigan Lottery via our link and enter the code MLIVE at signup, you will get a 50% deposit match worth up to $100.
What, exactly, does that mean? First, you’ll have to sign up for a Michigan Lottery account, which you can do via the mobile app or the desktop site. Once you create your account, it will work across both platforms.
After that, you can make your first deposit. It will be matched 50% up to a total of $100. The amount of your initial deposit determines your match. For example, you would need to deposit $200 or more to claim the total $100 bonus. On the other hand, smaller deposits still get you a bonus—it’s just slightly less. For example, a $50 deposit would get you a $25 match.
You can use the matched deposit bonus to play games online at the Michigan Lottery.
Mega Millions is a draw game, which means you select numbers and hope to match them when they’re drawn. Draws are broadcast at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Winning numbers are also posted online.
You have two options in terms of how you can play Mega Millions: in-store or online.
Michigan allows online lottery play, just as it offers online casinos and sportsbooks. You can purchase Mega Millions drawing entries via the Michigan Lottery app or website.
When playing online, you’ll pick five white ball numbers between 1 and 70, then a single gold Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. Matching all six of these selections will win you the top jackpot.
Plus, online play has an added advantage: different ways to pick your numbers.
Easy Pick lets you buy multiple tickets at three different levels: $6 (3 tickets), $10 (5 tickets), or $20 (10 tickets). Using Easy Pick gives you numbers at random.
You can also manually pick your numbers if you’d like. Then there’s the “Combo My Numbers” option, which has you pick 6 to 10 numbers and a single gold Mega Ball number, then the system generates tickets using combinations of the numbers you picked.
You can also save favorite purchases to repeat tickets.
There are hundreds of participating lottery retailers in Michigan where you can purchase Mega Millions drawings. Visit your participating local grocer or gas station and ask for a play slip. Fill it out, then return it to the cashier to get your tickets.
You can choose to play up to 30 consecutive drawings.
You can add Megaplier to a Mega Millions ticket for $1 per entry. MEgaplier multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.
Megaplier is a great option if you don’t mind risking a bit extra. If you win a prize—even a small one—Megaplier can drastically increase the amount you receive.
