Last Chance: $250K Michigan Lottery Keno Ticket Expires in One Week

Someone out there is sitting on a winning Michigan Lottery Keno ticket worth $250,000 and may not even know it. The problem? Time is running out.

Unless the lucky player checks their ticket and claims the prize before the deadline, that quarter-million-dollar jackpot will expire, and the money will be transferred to the state's School Aid Fund.

Michigan Lottery tickets expire one year from the date of the drawing. This particular ticket must be claimed by 4:45 PM on July 30th, 2026.

According to Michigan Lottery Connect, the winning ticket was purchased at Willow Creek Market on Michigan Avenue in Belleville.

Obviously, if you have never purchased a Keno ticket at Willow Creek Market, you are not the winner.

However, if you have, now would be a great time to dig through your wallet, glove box, kitchen drawer, or wherever you keep your tickets. You never know - you could be holding a Keno ticket worth $250,000.

Time is of the essence. Even if you know you are not the winner, it could be a friend or family member. If you know anyone who purchases lottery tickets at this particular store, contact them.

I cannot even imagine finding out you had a winning Michigan Lottery ticket worth $250,000, only to discover that it expired before you had a chance to claim your prize.

Hopefully, that won't be the case with this ticket. I am hoping the next Michigan Lottery article I write is about this lucky winner stepping forward to claim the money before it's too late.
