LANSING, MI -- Lottery players who win prizes of less than $100,000 can now redeem those winning tickets at claims centers closer to their home. The lottery announced Tuesday that claims centers around the state will be able to redeem prizes of up to $99,999 going forward so that lottery players won’t have to travel to lottery headquarters in Lansing to redeem those prizes.
There are lottery claims centers Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Livonia, Saginaw, and Sterling Heights. Previously, players could only claim prizes of up to $50,000 at a claim center.
For prizes worth $100,000 or more, players should contact the Lottery’s Public Relations division to schedule an appointment. The public relations department can be reached at 1-844-887-6836.
The last player from Michigan to win a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot was Cristy Davis of Waterford who won $70 million playing Powerball in February. With her winnings, Davis said she planned to buy a new house and car.
And while she was a lucky winner, it’s smart for players to check their tickets immediately as a winner worth $1 million sold in Hartland last year went unclaimed. The ticket was purchased at the Speedway in Hartland, but the winner never came forward to claim the prize. The money instead went to the state’s School Aid Fund.
