The Michigan Lottery’s Players Club is being expanded to include online games, offering players a new way to earn Players Club points.

Starting Wednesday, players of the Lottery’s online games automatically will begin earning Players Club points. Players will earn two points for each $1 spent on online games. Players Club points awarded for online game purchases will be added to player accounts within 48 hours of play. There is no limit on the number of Players Club points that players may earn through online game play.

Points will be awarded based on total online game tickets purchased per day. Players will be awarded only whole point totals.  All Players Club points are good for one year from the date they are posted to a player’s account.

The Players Club is a free program that gives Lottery players the chance to accumulate points by entering codes from non-winning instant, pull tab, and draw game tickets, and, starting Wednesday, through online game play. Points may be redeemed for entries into drawings for prizes and once-in-a-lifetime experiences or for merchandise, including Lottery free-play coupons.
