Michigan Lottery players who win prizes of more than $600 must present valid government issued photo identification and a valid Social Security card to claim their prize beginning Jan. 1.
The player's name must match exactly on the ID and Social Security card.
The lottery previously accepted Medicare cards, but those will no longer be accepted because new cards issued by Medicare will not include a Social Security number.
Acceptable forms of photo ID are:
- Driver's license with photo and expiration date
- State issued picture identification card with photo and expiration date
- Carry-Concealed Weapons (CCW) license with photo and expiration date
- Military ID with photo and expiration date
- Passport with photo and expiration date
- Passport Card with photo and expiration date
- Permanent Resident Card with photo and expiration date
- Veterans' Health Identification card with photo and expiration date
Players with questions about the Lottery's prize claim process should contact the Lottery's Public Relations Division at 844-887-6836, option 2.
