Michigan Lottery players have a unique raffle option exclusively to the Michigan Lottery. For this raffle to begin, all 100,000 tickets have to be sold, or one year after the date and time that tickets had become available for purchase.
If either one of those options comes first, then it will follow that order. The same applies to the drawing date of the raffle, with all 100,000 tickets being sold or a year after the original drawing period.
This exciting new feature is a great way to win prizes without having to do a lot of work. You simply have the ability to sit back and wait for the potential to win prizes.
