LANSING, May 9, 2011 – Lottery players can now download the free Michigan Lottery app to Apple and Android devices.

The Michigan Lottery app features many of the same services as the Lottery’s Player’s Club Web site, http://www.michiganlottery.com. It provides Lottery players the ability to watch Club Keno drawings, view jackpots and winning numbers, search past numbers, and view prize tables all at the touch of a finger.

For Club Keno players, this offers a whole new way to experience the game. Once they’ve purchased their ticket, players can watch the drawings from their personal devices.

For players who buy instant tickets and participate in the numerous second chance contests the Lottery offers, the mobile app allows them to enter their non-winning instant tickets into the Player’s Club to earn points and Instant Replay entries.

The app is just another way the Lottery has made its services more accessible to players. In addition to the app, players can go to www.michiganlottery.com , the Lottery’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/michiganlottery , or have the winning numbers and Lottery updates emailed and texted directly to them.

Players can download the Michigan Lottery app by simply searching for “Michigan Lottery” in their Apple or Android app store.

Over 94 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets is returned to the state in the form of contributions to the state School Aid Fund, prizes to players and commissions to retailers. In fiscal year 2010, the contribution to schools was $701.3 million. Since its inception in 1972, the Lottery has contributed more than $15 billion to education in Michigan.
