Lucky for Life has now ended!
Lucky for Life has officially come to an end and has been replaced by the new Millionaire for Life game. Millionaire for Life combines the former Cash 4 Life and Lucky for Life formats into one multi-state annuity-style lottery across the USA. Instead of $1,000 per day for life, the new top prize is $1,000,000 per year for life, along with a refreshed prize structure and slightly different ball matrix. You can find more information on the new prizes and game format here.

About Lucky for Life

When Lucky for Life launched, in 2009, it was only played in Connecticut. The rest of New England joined three years later and the game’s popularity continued to explode in 2013 when a second ‘for life’ prize was introduced.

These top prize tiers also give you the option to take a one-off cash sum, but if you take the annuity you have guaranteed financial security forever as you always know that another payout will be on the way soon.

It’s easy to claim prizes, but you should be aware that there are different procedures and deadlines in every participating state and you must redeem your winnings where you bought your ticket.
