The Michigan Lottery was launched in 1972 and has become one of the most progressive lottery programs in the whole country ever since.

Michigan Statey Lottery – A historic rundown

As mentioned in the introduction part, we connect the very beginning of the Michigan State Lottery to 1972 when the Green Ticket Game was introduced. Just four months after the kick-off (in February 1973), the state saw its inaugural $1 million prize winner. Hermus Millsaps of Taylor was the lucky man. Three years later, in October 1975, the maiden instant games came into force. Terminal-based games began in June 1997 with the launch of Daily 3. The Michigan Lottery enriched its offer by introducing the initial “lotto” variant in August 1984.

Mega Millions is one of the most popular games of the kind across the United States. It brings origins from The Big Game whose maiden ticket was sold in August 1996. It was not before 2014 when we saw the following change to the setup. The global rise of the Internet caused strong pressure for online play. As a consequence, the first-ever online lottery ticket sales went online on August 11^th, 2014.  We’ll mark the date as an official launch of the Michigan Lottery Online.
