The Michigan Lottery is making it easier than ever for players to cash tickets with an increase to the prize claim threshold at all Lottery retailers and increase to the redemption credit limit on self-serve lottery kiosks.
Beginning August 24, 2026, players may now redeem winning tickets up to $999.99 at retailers. Previously, retailers were authorized to redeem prizes up to $600. This improvement makes it easier for players to cash tickets at local stores and benefits retailers who receive a 2% commission for all winning tickets validated and paid at their store.
In addition to increasing the prize claim threshold for retailers, the maximum redemption credit limit on self-serve lottery kiosks has increased from $100 to $500. To redeem a winning ticket for credit at a Lottery self-service kiosk, players simply scan the barcode of their winning ticket at the machine. At self-serve lottery kiosks, players may purchase draw and instant games and redeem Michigan Lottery coupons.
