The Michigan Lottery is giving players a chance to double the value of their Online Game Cards this month with Bonus Buys.
Starting June 13, the value of random Online Game Cards purchased through Lottery terminals will be doubled. Players may choose to purchase Online Game Cards in four denominations: $10, $20, $50, or $100. The Bonus Buys promotion will run for a limited time and is scheduled to end June 30.
Each Online Game Card will be printed from the retailer’s Lottery terminal and will include a unique code that players enter into their Michigan Lottery account for online play. Each code is valid for five years from the date of purchase.
Players may redeem up to $200 – not including bonus play – in Online Game Cards per week in their online accounts.
Online Game Cards have been a popular way for players to fund their online accounts because they allow players to buy in store and play online without using a credit card or debit card. Since December 2014, the Lottery has offered a $20 Online Game Card that includes $5 in bonus free play. About 25 percent of online players have used an Online Game Card at least once to fund their account. These cards also will remain available at retailers, but aren’t included in the Bonus Buys promotion.
Michigan Lottery players have a chance to win up to $500,000 instantly playing online. Through its online platform, the Lottery offers players more than 30 different games with plays ranging in price from 5 cents to $20. The Lottery added four draw games – Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto 47, and Fantasy 5 – to its online offerings in January.
More than 322,000 players have registered to play the Lottery’s online games, which were launched in 2014. For more information or to play online, visit http://bit.ly/MSLOnlineGames.
In 2015, Lottery players won about $127.7 million playing games online.
