Michigan is Where?

I saw a sweepstakes from Pure Michigan, an organization devoted to promoting Michigan. You could win a trip to a waterpark. The reason the advertisement was noteworthy is that you were to mail the form to Minnesota.
If Michigan is so great, which I do think it is, then why is Pure Michigan not in Michigan? I know – they just contracted with an existing letter-opening and sweepstakes-handling firm. But isn’t that the point of Pure Michigan – to get people to do things in Michigan? I would expect that at least one company in Michigan would be capable of handling their contest needs.
“He changes a wilderness into a pool of water And a dry land into springs of water; And there He makes the hungry to dwell, So that they may establish an inhabited city”
