- The Michigan Lottery's regional offices are located in Lansing, Livonia, Sterling Heights, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Saginaw. A number of banks have also partnered with the Michigan Lottery to serve winners in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula.
While lottery prizes are subject to state and federal tax in Michigan, this is only for prizes of more than $5,000. Cash Pop payouts therefore come in just below this threshold. If you win between $600 and $5,000, taxes are not withheld but the Michigan Lottery will report these winnings to the IRS and Department of Treasury. You will then have to report the income in the relevant tax year when it is claimed.
