To purchase Michigan lottery tickets online—for the Powerball or any other game—you first need to create an account.
To start that process, simply click our exclusive link, which will bring you to the Michigan Lottery page. Follow the prompts and provide your information as requested. When you see a field for a promo code, type in MLIVE. This will ensure you get the bonus.
Account created? You’re all set to make a deposit. Here’s where the bonus kicks in. When you sign up with our link and promo code, Michigan Lottery will match half of your first deposit up to $100 total.
Say you deposit $40. You’d get $20 in bonus credits as a match. To get the full $100, you’d need to deposit $200 or more.
Remember that only your first deposit counts toward the bonus.
Powerball is a simple game. To play, you pick numbers:
- Five white ball numbers (between 1 and 69)
- One red Powerball number (between 1 and 26)
You can’t repeat numbers on the same line. A “Line” is essentially one game. You can purchase many lines at once for a given drawing.
Matching all five white ball numbers and the red Powerball number gets you the jackpot prize.
Each line costs $2.00. For an extra $1 per line, you can add Power Play. Power Play multiplies any non-jackpot wins by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. The 10x multiplier is only available if the advertised jackpot is below $150,000,000.
Drawings take place Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET. Ticket sales stop 15 minutes before each drawing. A ticket purchased on Saturday at 10:50 p.m., for example, would apply to the following Monday’s drawing.
Buying Powerball tickets online is incredibly simple. The primary way to fill out a ticket is by picking your numbers individually. Select your numbers, then add the line to your cart. Repeat for as many tickets as you’d like, add Power Play if desired, and buy your entries.
You can also use the Easy Pick option. No need to select any numbers; the system will randomly do so for you.
You can also do the “Combo My Numbers” option. Pick 6 to 10 numbers and a single Powerball number, and the system will generate tickets using different combinations of your selected numbers.
If you are a repeat Powerball player, you can save your favorite tickets to your account and repeat them for future drawings.
