Powerball jackpot at $215 million: Purchase your entries now
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
The Powerball jackpot is at $215 million, and you can purchase entries for tonight’s drawing now.
In Michigan, you can buy Powerball tickets online or at a participating retail location. If you choose to buy online and have never done so before, you’re in luck. You can join with our exclusive link and enter the promo code MLIVe to get a welcome bonus of up to $100.
This bonus is only available for new players. If you already have an account with the Michigan Lottery, you can’t claim the bonus.
New players simply need to join the Michigan Lottery using our link, then enter promo code MLIVE when prompted. This will get you a 50% first deposit match of up to $100.
In other words, half of your deposit will be matched. If you deposit $200 or more, you’ll get the full $100 in bonus credit. You can deposit more, but you’ll only get $100 matched even if you go over $200 for your initial account funding.
Depositing less than $200 still gets you a match, but it’s equal to 50% of your deposit. For example, a $50 deposit would get you a $25 match.
You can use the bonus credit you receive to play Powerball or hundreds of other Michigan Lottery games.
Powerball is a very simple game. You select five white ball numbers between 1 and 69 plus a single Powerball number between 1 and 26. Each entry costs $2 and you can buy many at once if you choose.
Watch the drawing to see if your numbers have won. Drawings occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET and sales end 15 minutes prior to each drawing.
You win the jackpot if you match all five white balls and the red Powerball. You get smaller prizes for other matches.
For an extra $1 per ticket, you can add Power Play to your entry. Power Play multiplies any non-jackpot wins by up to 5x.
Michigan allows online lottery, which already makes it a great state for online gamblers. But the Great Lakes State goes even further, allowing many other forms of online gambling.
A few years ago, Michigan legalized online casinos. The state quickly became a hub for online gambling operators, and now it’s home to more than a dozen amazing online casinos. Big names such as FanDuel, DraftKings, betMGM, and Caesars have set up shop in Michigan, plus many others.
This is excellent news for players in Michigan because they have so many options. Additionally, online casinos in Michigan offer lucrative welcome bonuses, no deposit bonuses, and free spins. The best part? Players can sign up for multiple online casinos and get welcome bonuses from each one.
Michigan’s online casinos offer thousands of games in total, including slots, table games, live dealer titles, Luckytap, Slingo, and much much more.
The same law that authorized Michigan online casinos also legalized online sportsbooks in Michigan. Many major brands have sportsbooks live in the state, including PointsBet, Sports Illustrated, FanDuel, DraftKings, and many more.
Sportsbooks, like online casinos, also offer welcome bonuses. The benefits of having multiple sportsbooks are many. For example, you can compare odds at various sports betting sites and choose the one that gives you the best possible payout.
Plus, most online sportsbooks in Michigan let you access their online casinos using the same account and wallet. It’s all in one connected ecosystem.
There are a few key differences between the online lottery and other online gambling formats in Michigan.
The online lottery’s minimum age is 18. Anyone who is 18 or older and lives in Michigan can play lottery games online. Sportsbooks and online casinos, meanwhile, require you to be 21 or older.
The online lottery may be available to younger players than sportsbooks and casinos, but there’s one drawback: you have to live in Michigan. You can’t play at the Michigan online lottery if you’re not a resident of the state.
Online sportsbooks and casinos don’t have this requirement. They do require that you are physically within state lines when you play, and this will be confirmed using geolocation technology when you sign in. You can bet on sports or play casino games in Michigan even if you’re just visiting or passing through.
