Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel’s Ticket to 100 Grand promotion will award one guest $100,000 cash in an Oct. 31 drawing. Ahead of the Halloween finale, the casino is holding Friday and Saturday drawings that award $500 cash and a ticket for the grand prize to each winner.
The Williamsburg casino, near Traverse City, has three weekends of drawings remaining. Guests can participate Oct. 16-17, Oct. 23-24, and Oct. 30-31, with the finale scheduled for 11 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, Oct. 31.
Guests can also collect finale tickets through qualifying hotel stays and purchases without having to win an earlier drawing.
Eleven $500 drawings take place each evening
Turtle Creek’s promotion schedule lists drawings every half-hour from 5-10 p.m. on participating Fridays and Saturdays. The casino will award $5,500 across 11 cash prizes each drawing evening, plus a separate $100,000 prize in the Oct. 31 finale.
Each evening, five winners are selected through Hot Picks and six through electronic entry drawings.
Guests must be at least 18 and belong to Grand Rewards to participate. Players are limited to two wins per drawing day. Winners of earlier drawings remain eligible for the $100,000 finale.
Grand Rewards membership is free, with signup available at the Players Club. New members should bring a valid government-issued photo ID to sign up.
Players must activate electronic entries before drawings
For every 20 Rewards Points a guest earns, one electronic entry is added to their total for the promotion. Members also receive free entries each day, with the number determined by their Grand Rewards membership tier.
Sapphire members receive one daily entry, Ruby two, Emerald three, Pinnacle five, and Onyx seven.
Those entries must be activated before each drawing. The official rules require guests to place at least one bet with their Grand Rewards card during the promotional period to activate entries. Guests must also be actively playing with the card at a slot machine or table game to qualify.
Electronic entries are separate from the physical tickets used for the Halloween finale. To enter the final drawing, guests must obtain a physical ticket and deposit it in the drawing bin.
Qualifying stays and purchases can earn finale tickets
Other ways to earn finale tickets include receiving a hand-paid slot jackpot of at least $2,000, winning a promotional drawing at slots or table games, or finishing first in the weekly euchre tournament at Leelanau Sands Casino.
Guests checking out of Turtle Creek Hotel or its RV park, Leelanau Sands Lodge or its RV park, or Grand Traverse Resort can qualify. They must present their receipt at the Players Club on checkout day.
A single food, retail, or spa transaction of at least $50 before tax and gratuity also qualifies at Turtle Creek, Leelanau Sands, Crystal Shores Casino, or Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. Guests must bring the receipt to the Players Club to receive their ticket.
Other qualifying options include being a Grand Traverse Resort & Spa member or purchasing a Serenity Day pass at Spa Grand Traverse.
Ticket-holders must deposit their physical entries in the drawing bin between 6 p.m. and 10:55 p.m. on Oct. 31.
Guests must be present to win and have 3 minutes to claim a prize at the designated promotional winning area. If a selected winner misses that window, the casino will redraw until someone claims the prize.
