Powerball jackpot at $95 million: Purchase your entries today
Wild Casino

Following a historic $1 billion jackpot a few weeks back, the Powerball is yet again on a steady climb. The current jackpot sits at $95 million, and the next drawing occurs tonight at 11 p.m. ET.

Michigan players can buy tickets for the Powerball drawing until 15 minutes before the drawing. Playing online makes this incredibly easy, and when you sign up, you’ll get a special welcome bonus worth up to $100.

When you first join the Michigan Lottery as a new player, you can plug in our unique bonus code, MLIVE, and get a 50% first deposit match worth up to $100. You can do this if you’ve played Powerball via a participating retailer before, but not if you’ve already created an online lottery account.

To start, and enter the requested personal details to create your account. Enter the promo code MLIVE when prompted. The process is quick and easy; it should only take a few minutes.

Next, you can make your first deposit. Keep in mind that the bonus only applies to the very first deposit you make. Following deposits won’t be matched.

The Michigan Lottery will match half of your initial deposit for up to $100. For example, the following deposits would yield the corresponding amount in bonus credits:

  • Deposit $20: get $10 in bonus credit
  • Deposit $80: get $40 in bonus credit
  • Deposit $100: get $50 in bonus credit
  • Deposit $200: get $100 in bonus credit.

Can you deposit more than $200? Absolutely, but you’ll only get the maximum bonus amount. A $300 deposit would still get you a $100 match.

You can use the bonus credit to play various Michigan online lottery games.

Michigan allows many forms of online gambling, including online casinos and online sports betting. Online lottery is among the offerings, which means you can play Powerball from the Michigan lottery mobile app (for iOS and Android) or desktop site.

Once you have an account, picking your numbers is simple. Powerball requires you to select five white ball numbers between 1 and 69 (with no repeats) and a single red Powerball number between 1 and 26.

You can manually select numbers if you wish—many players like to use specific important dates or lucky numbers. However, playing online comes with a few extra options.

You can select “Easy Pick,” which populates a ticket for you at random. No picking required.

There’s also the “Combo My Numbers” option, which lets you select numbers you want to include, then generates tickets using different combinations of those numbers.

If you’re a frequent Powerball player, you can save your favorite tickets and repopulate your cart with them.
