THANKSGIVING PAUSE: MICHIGAN LOTTERY OFFICES TAKE A BREAK IN GRATITUDE

As the nation prepares to gather around tables laden with gratitude, the Michigan Lottery joins in the spirit of Thanksgiving by announcing the closure of its headquarters in Lansing and all regional offices located in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Livonia, Saginaw, and Sterling Heights on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23 and 24.

The Michigan Lottery, a beacon of dreams and fortunes, acknowledges the importance of giving thanks and spending quality time with loved ones during this special holiday. In the true spirit of the season, the decision to close its doors for Thanksgiving allows employees and players alike to partake in the warmth and joy of the festivities.

Despite the temporary closure, the excitement of winning persists, and all regularly scheduled drawings will continue without interruption on Thursday and Friday. The anticipation surrounding these drawings, with their potential to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, remains a constant, even in the midst of holiday celebrations.

It's worth noting that while the Lottery offices take a brief pause, the bank claim centers associated with the Michigan Lottery may maintain office hours on Thursday and Friday. However, their ability to process claims will be momentarily halted in sync with the closure of Lottery offices.

As families come together to share in the blessings of the season, the Michigan Lottery extends its warmest wishes for a joyous and thankful Thanksgiving.

The pause in operations is a small sacrifice for the larger goal of fostering an atmosphere of appreciation and togetherness. For those with winning tickets burning a hole in their pockets, fear not ? the Michigan Lottery offices will reopen promptly on Monday at 7:45 a.m. The dedicated team, ready to assist in turning dreams into reality, will resume their mission of providing unparalleled service and support to lottery players across the state.

In the meantime, let the warmth of Thanksgiving fill your hearts, and may your holiday be adorned with the joy of cherished moments and the anticipation of what the next lottery drawing might bring. The Michigan Lottery family wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, and they look forward to continuing the journey of dreams and winning together when the offices reopen on Monday morning.
