Lucky for Life (LFL) is a lottery drawing game (as of September 2017) available in 24 states and the District of Columbia. Lucky for Life, which began in 2009 in Connecticut as Lucky-4-Life, became a game in New England three years later, and added eleven lotteries during 2015. The LFL slogan is "The Game of a Lifetime life". Still images in Connecticut; Lucky for Life was drawn Monday and Thursday at 10:38. Eastern time, using two image machines and numbered balls.

Lucky for Life was modified on September 17, 2013, adding a second "lifetime" gift level, and cash options for the annuity rate; LFL changed again in January 2015 to the current format. Every Lucky for Life plays for $ 2.

First and second prize payments

Unlike other American lottery games (the exception being Cash4Life nine countries), Lucky for Life offers two awarded levels of prizes; both are advertised as "lifetime" gifts. Starting with a 2013 game modification, the first prize winner can choose cash in lieu of lifetime annuities; the second prize winner also offered cash options. The first prize winner, if the annuity is selected, accepted, or shared, is equivalent to "$ 1,000 per day for life" (the payment time corresponds to the rule on which the ticket is sold), with 20 years guaranteed; if the winner dies, the payment goes to the winning estate. The second prize is $ 25,000 per year for life.

Lucky for Life uses 5/48 (1/18 white ball) image matrix (green "Lucky Balls"); his 2013 game modification has 43 balls in each of two drums, while the previous version is 5/40 1/21. (The Connecticut-only game drew 4 of 39 white balls and 1 of 19 "Lucky Balls" greens; hence the name Lucky-4-Life.)

Version 5/43 1/43 never produces the highest prize-winning ticket; the first winner under the matrix is â€‹â€‹currently on sale in South Carolina for the 19 November 2015 drawing. The winner, who claimed the prize anonymously under the SCEL rules, is the first winner to choose cash in lieu of the annuity for the game's main prize , as all previous major prize winners received their victory under the pre-2013 rule game.
