Playing the Mega Millions in Michigan

In order to participate in the Mega Millions, a ticket can be acquired for $2 from the Michigan Lottery. You have the option to purchase it through the Michigan Lottery app, the Michigan Lottery website, or from any of the 10,500 lottery retailers within the state. However, if you choose to buy tickets online, you must meet the website’s minimum purchase requirement by buying at least three tickets.

You need to buy tickets before 10:45 p.m. ET on the drawing night, and the drawings take place at 11 p.m. ET every Tuesday and Friday.

For an additional $1, lotto players have the option to include a “Megaplier” on their ticket, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Tickets for Mega Millions can be purchased in 45 states, including Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

What is the Mega Millions cash payout?

In the event of a Mega Millions win, you have the option to either receive a lump sum cash payment or opt for annual installments.

The current jackpot offers a cash option of $747 million.

Individuals who opt for the annuity alternative will be granted 30 payments, wherein each payment will be 5% larger than the preceding one.
