MICHIGAN LOTTERY RETAILER - APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS -
The requirements listed below pertain to Retailers interested in selling Michigan Bureau of State Lottery (Lottery) products. Failure to meet any of these requirements, the terms and conditions of the contract or any other provision of the Lottery Act and Rules may result in disciplinary action up to and including license revocation depending on the nature and severity of the violation.
1.The Lottery advises all applicants for licenses and/or changes of ownership not to invest any money or commit themselves by any binding agreements in the expectation of being issued a license or approval of a change of ownership until officially notified by the Lottery that their application has been approved.
2.Most applicants with an acceptable credit history and no criminal record that would adversely affect the integrity of the Lottery may be licensed. Lottery may require a bond from a Retailer as a condition
of licensure. ANY CRIMINAL RECORD MUST BE DISCLOSED ON PERSONAL DATA SHEETS.
3.The items listed in the applicant checklist are required before the Lottery will license the location.
4.A nonrefundable application fee of $150 is due at time of application. This fee may be remitted by check payable to the State of Michigan or paid on-line at https://www.thepayplace.com/mi/lottery/retailerserv
5.Retailers are required to maintain a separate account in a financial institution that is a member
of The National Automated Clearing House Association. The Lottery must be authorized to initiate electronic funds transfers (EFT) to or from the Retailer’s designated account for the net weekly settlements due from the sale of instant and/or on-line game tickets. The Retailer shall ensure that “good” funds shall be available in the designated account to cover said transfers on the day of week specified by the Lottery.
“Good” funds are defined as unrestricted funds credited to a Retailer’s account that a financial institution will release for payment of an EFT. Unrestricted funds do not include checks placed on hold until they have cleared the maker’s account or deposited checks that the maker’s financial institution has returned unpaid. Any cash alternative settlement methods (such as line of credit, overdraft protection, a pre-approved loan, or any other arrangements) agreed upon with your bank are the Retailer’s responsibility. If a settlement is not honored by your bank, regardless of the reason, the Lottery will consider it a delinquency.
Applicants should submit a completed Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form with the application. If this EFT account will not be established until closing of the sale, a void check or a letter, on bank letterhead, with the bank’s routing number and your checking account number may
be submitted at that time. Lottery products will not be made available to the Retailer until this information is provided.
6.Annual license renewal fee is $200. This fee will be waived for those Retailers who are not on probation for violation of the Lottery Act or its Rules at the time of renewal.
7.It is recommended the Retailer provide (prior to the installation of Lottery equipment) a dedicated circuit with 115 volts, 20 Amp. 60 HZ service with an isolated ground that remains on 24 hours per day. The dedicated circuit must have a 4 outlet box that will accommodate 3 prong, “U” grounded type plugs. The Lottery reserves the right to require a Retailer to obtain certification of a dedicated electrical circuit from a qualified electrician. All installation and ongoing costs for this service will be the responsibility of the Retailer. The outlet shall be located within five feet of the terminal. The Retailer shall provide sufficient space for the operation of the equipment.

8.BUSINESS TYPE - to determine your business type use these definitions when completing the application. A Personal Data Sheet and signature is required before the application will be processed.
a.PROPRIETORSHIP - a business enterprise doing business under an assumed name, that is owned by one person (not registered with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth). A Proprietorship may use the owner’s Social Security number as a tax identification number or s/he may have a registered Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). The owner must complete and sign the contract and submit a Personal Data Sheet.
b.PARTNERSHIP - a business enterprise doing business under an assumed name that is NOT registered as a Partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth. Each Partner must sign the contract and Personal Data Sheets must be provided for all partners.
c.LIMITED PARTNERSHIP - a business enterprise, doing business under an assumed name, that IS registered as a Partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth. A General Partner must sign the contract and Personal Data Sheets must be provided for all general partners.
d.LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY - a business enterprise, doing business under an assumed name, that is registered as an unincorporated association with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth. Members are required to sign the contract and submit Personal Data Sheets. (Members are defined as persons having ownership interest in a limited liability company.)
e.CORPORATION - a business enterprise organized as a corporate entity, doing business under an assumed name, that is registered with the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth.
“Closely Held Corporation” means a corporation where a majority (more than 50 percent) of the outstanding voting stock is owned by ten or fewer persons. Any person authorized and empowered to execute contracts and bind the corporation to its terms and obligations may sign the contract. A Personal Data Sheet is required for each owner/shareholder, except that any individual owning less than 10 percent may be listed on a separate sheet of paper and is required only to provide name, Social Security number and percent of ownership.
“Non-Closely Held Corporation” means a corporation where a majority (more than 50 percent) of the outstanding voting stock is owned by more than ten persons. The Principal Operating Officer(s) is/are required to sign the application and submit Personal Data Sheet(s). (A Principal Operating Officer is defined as a person designated to conduct business in the State of Michigan on behalf of the corporation being licensed.)
f.To properly comply with the reporting requirements for the Internal Revenue Service, the Lottery must change the Retailer number assigned to you when you change your business structure. The Lottery defines a change in business structure as anytime your Taxpayer Identification Number, Corporate Number or business type (sole proprietor, partnership or corporation) changes.
When your Retailer number is changed, we must financially close out the old Retailer number. This will result in all activated books having to be settled and paid for, regardless of the length of
time they have been activated or the percentage of validations that have occurred within each book. Once a book has been activated we are unable to reassign the book, which is why payment is required.
You will then be assigned a new Retailer number and all confirmed books will be reassigned to this new number.
9.Please note that the accompanying Retailer license application requires that you indicate if your business is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you have any questions about compliance, please contact the State ADA Coordinator, at 517-373-3125.
If you have any questions, call RETAILER SERVICES (517) 335-5619.

Filling out the Michigan Lottery Retailer Application form is an important step for anyone interested in selling Lottery products. This process ensures that all necessary information is collected and requirements are met. Below are the steps to guide you through completing the form correctly.
Once the application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Lottery. You will receive official notification regarding the approval or denial of your application. Make sure to keep an eye on your email or mailbox for any updates.
To become a Michigan Lottery retailer, applicants must meet several essential requirements. First, individuals must be at least 18 years old. A clean credit history and the absence of any criminal record that could undermine the integrity of the Lottery are crucial. All applicants must complete a Personal Data Sheet and submit a nonrefundable application fee of $150. Additionally, a separate bank account must be maintained to facilitate electronic funds transfers related to Lottery sales. Finally, applicants should ensure their business complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and provide necessary documentation to demonstrate this compliance.
The application process begins with completing the required forms, including the Retailer license application and the Personal Data Sheet. Applicants must also pay the $150 application fee, which can be done either by check or online. Once the application is submitted, the Lottery will review it. It is important not to make any financial commitments based on the expectation of receiving a license until official approval is granted. If the application is approved, the Lottery will notify the applicant, and they may then proceed with selling Lottery products.
Retailers have several ongoing responsibilities to maintain their license. They must display their Lottery license prominently and sell tickets only at the designated location. It is their duty to redeem winning tickets valued up to $600 and ensure that all transactions comply with Lottery guidelines. Retailers are also expected to participate in promotional activities and maintain accurate records of all Lottery sales. Additionally, they must ensure the physical security of Lottery equipment and report any theft or malfunctions promptly. If any issues arise, retailers are responsible for addressing them in accordance with Lottery policies.
There are several fees associated with being a Michigan Lottery retailer. Initially, a nonrefundable application fee of $150 is required at the time of application. Once licensed, retailers must pay an annual renewal fee of $200, although this fee may be waived for those not on probation for violations of the Lottery Act at the time of renewal. Retailers may also incur costs related to maintaining the required dedicated electrical circuit for Lottery equipment and any necessary repairs or replacements for that equipment. Understanding these fees is vital for prospective retailers to ensure they can meet their financial obligations.
One common mistake is failing to disclose any criminal record. Applicants must provide this information on their personal data sheets. Omitting this can lead to disqualification.
Another frequent error involves not submitting the nonrefundable application fee of $150 at the time of application. This fee is crucial for processing the application.
Applicants often neglect to provide a completed Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form. This form is necessary for the Lottery to initiate electronic funds transfers.
Many individuals misinterpret their business type. Correctly identifying whether the business is a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation is essential for proper processing of the application.
Finally, some applicants do not ensure that their designated account contains good funds. The Lottery requires that sufficient funds be available for any electronic transfers on the specified day.
The Michigan Lottery form is essential for anyone looking to become a licensed retailer. However, several other documents and forms are often required to complete the application process. Here’s a brief overview of these important forms.
Each of these documents plays a vital role in ensuring that retailers meet the requirements set by the Michigan Lottery. Submitting all necessary forms accurately and on time can help streamline the application process and pave the way for a successful retail partnership with the Lottery.
The Michigan Lottery form shares similarities with a business license application. Both documents require applicants to provide detailed information about their business structure, ownership, and compliance with local regulations. Just as a business license application ensures that a business meets specific criteria to operate legally, the Michigan Lottery form ensures that retailers adhere to the rules governing the sale of lottery products. Both documents often include fees and may require background checks to assess the applicant's suitability for licensing.
Another document comparable to the Michigan Lottery form is the vendor registration form used by state agencies. This form collects information about businesses that wish to supply goods or services to the state. Like the Michigan Lottery application, it requires disclosure of ownership, business type, and compliance with relevant laws. Both forms emphasize the importance of maintaining a clear and transparent relationship between the applicant and the regulatory authority.
The application for a liquor license also resembles the Michigan Lottery form. Both documents require applicants to disclose personal and business information, including any criminal history that could impact their eligibility. Furthermore, they both involve a review process by the state to ensure that the applicant meets specific legal and ethical standards necessary for operating in a regulated industry.
A health department permit application is another document similar to the Michigan Lottery form. Both applications require detailed information about the business's operations, including safety and compliance measures. Just as the Michigan Lottery form ensures that retailers follow strict guidelines, health department permits ensure that food service establishments meet health and safety regulations to protect the public.
The contractor license application can also be compared to the Michigan Lottery form. Both documents require applicants to provide proof of qualifications, such as experience and financial stability. Additionally, both forms may involve a fee and require a review process to ensure that the applicant is capable of operating within the legal framework of their respective industries.
A professional license application, such as for real estate agents or medical professionals, is similar in that it requires applicants to meet specific educational and ethical standards. Both types of applications often involve background checks and disclosures of any criminal history, ensuring that only qualified individuals are allowed to practice in their respective fields.
The business registration form, used to register a new business entity with the state, mirrors the Michigan Lottery form in its requirement for detailed business information. Both documents serve to establish the legitimacy of a business and ensure compliance with state regulations. Additionally, both may require ongoing reporting or renewal to maintain good standing.
The sales tax permit application is another document that shares similarities with the Michigan Lottery form. Both require businesses to register with the state and provide information about their operations. Additionally, both forms involve compliance with state laws, including the collection and remittance of taxes, ensuring that businesses operate within the legal framework established by the state.
Lastly, a nonprofit organization application for tax-exempt status can be compared to the Michigan Lottery form. Both require detailed information about the organization's structure, purpose, and compliance with state and federal regulations. Each application serves to ensure that the entity operates within the guidelines set forth by governing bodies, promoting accountability and transparency in their operations.
When filling out the Michigan Lottery form, it is crucial to adhere to specific guidelines to ensure a smooth application process. Here’s a list of what you should and shouldn’t do:
Following these guidelines will help streamline your application process and ensure compliance with Michigan Lottery regulations. Act promptly to avoid any delays in your licensing and sales capabilities.
Misconceptions about the Michigan Lottery form can lead to confusion for potential retailers. Here are ten common misconceptions, along with clarifications:
Filling out and using the Michigan Lottery form requires careful attention to detail. Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind:
By understanding these key points, applicants can better navigate the Michigan Lottery application process and ensure compliance with all requirements.
