Lottery licensing · Gas stations and markets
Michigan Lottery retailer licensing
Selling lottery products is often part of buying a gas station or market. We handle the lottery application alongside the liquor license and the purchase.
Why it matters in a business purchase
For many gas stations, party stores and markets, lottery sales are part of what makes the location work. When ownership changes, the lottery retailer license does not simply carry over, so the application has to be planned into the timeline of the deal.
We coordinate the lottery application with the liquor license transfer, the purchase agreement and the lease, so you aren't surprised at closing by a license that isn't ready.
What we help with
Lottery retailer applications for new and acquired locations
Changes of ownership and entity changes for existing retailers
Lining up the lottery license with SDM or SDD liquor license transfers
Building license contingencies into purchase agreements and leases
Ask before you commit
If you are buying or leasing a location that sells lottery products, ask us what approvals you will need before you sign. It is much easier to plan for them than to fix a gap afterward.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Requirements and timelines depend on the location and the transaction.
Talk to us first
Before you sign, call us.
It costs far less to plan a deal than to fix it afterward. Tell us what you're working on and we'll tell you what to expect.
