How to Play Millionaire for Life in District of Columbia

Millionaire for Life is a fun and simple game to play. Select five main numbers from 1 to 58, plus a Millionaire Ball between 1 and 5. You should also be aware of the following rules when you play in the District of Columbia.

  • You must be at least 18 years old to buy a ticket.
  • The cut-off time to play is 10:15 PM ET each night, with drawings held at 11:15 PM ET.
  • The Multi Drawings option allows you to enter numbers in up to 20 consecutive drawings.
  • You can play online and in-store in D.C.

Go to the How to Play page for an overview of how to fill out a playslip from anywhere. Check out the Odds and Prizes section to see all the different ways to win. You’ll need to match all five main numbers and the Millionaire for Life number to win the top prize of $1 million a year for life.

How to Claim Prizes

Millionaire for Life is played in 31 jurisdictions across the U.S. and the general procedure for claiming prizes is similar, but you always have to claim in the same state or jurisdiction where you bought your ticket. Here’s what you should know about claiming prizes in Washington D.C.

  • Prizes up to $600 – All prizes of this value may be redeemed at DC Lottery retailers or by mail.
  • Prizes up to $5,000 – You’ll need to claim by mail or go to one of the DC Lottery’s ‘Retailer Plus’ locations. These are retailers which have special dispensation to pay out larger prizes, and are located throughout the District.
  • Top two prizes – Claim in person at the D Lottery Prize Center. You should contact the DC Lottery Customer Service Department at 202.645.8000 for assistance before your appointment.

For prizes of more than $600, you’ll need to provide photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport, and your Social Security card. The address for mail-in claims is shown below:

DC Lottery Prize Center
2235 Shannon Place, SE
Washington, D.C. 20020

How long do I have to claim prizes?
Prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date. Tickets are no longer valid after the deadline passes.

Will my prize be taxed?
Prizes above $5,000 are taxed according to District, state and local laws, in addition to federal withholdings. The DC Lottery recommends that you consult a tax professional in the event of a major win.

Can I stay anonymous if I win?
Winner information is regarded as a matter of public record, but you may claim a prize through a legal trust to effectively stay anonymous. One drawback of this approach is that, according to the rules of Millionaire for Life, legal trusts may only be paid out for 20 years rather than for life.

DC 'for Life' Game History

Lucky for Life, a game with a top prize of $1,000 a day for life, had been available in Washington D.C. from February 15, 2015. The game ended almost exactly 11 years later, in February 2026, to make room for the launch of Millionaire for Life.

A portion of every ticket purchased goes towards funding services such as education and public safety. DC Lottery Executive Director Randy Burnside said: “With daily chances to become an instant millionaire, significantly better odds at the top prize than other national draw games, and knowledge that their ticket is also giving back to the District, Millionaire for Life gives our players a million reasons to play.”
