Millionaire For Life

Now, if you want to win a million dollars for the rest of your life, don't panic. The new game replacing "Cash4Life" is "Millionaire for Life" which focuses on the same principle.

The prize hasn't changed, just the name. By buying a ticket, you put yourself in the running for a million dollars into your bank account for the rest of your life. You'll pick five numbers for your ticket (1-58), and wait for your drawings.

How Do You Play?

The game costs five dollars per ticket, and will offer nightly drawings. Now, these drawings are not for the major prize, but it will still land you $100,000 a year for life. Not too shabby.

The major prize, a million a year for life, will take place on Sunday nights, with the first being drawn on February 22nd at 11:15 p.m. Tickets will become available at 5 a.m. that day. If you do win the million, you can choose between annual payments for 20 years, or a one-time discounted lump sum. You can win cash prizes every night by matching a white ball with the millionaire ball, or by just matching two white balls.
