How to Play Cash4Life
Choose 5 white ball numbers: Select 5 numbers from 1 through 60. You can choose your own numbers, or request a Quick Pick for a random selection from the terminal.
Pick 1 Cash Ball number: Choose 1 Cash Ball number from 1 through 4. The Cash Ball is the key to the top two prize tiers — matching it alongside your 5 main numbers wins you $1,000 a day for life.
Purchase your ticket: Buy your ticket at any authorized retailer in the participating states. Each Cash4Life play costs $2. You can also opt to play multiple draws in advance, which locks in your selected numbers for consecutive draws.
Keep your ticket safe: Sign the back of your ticket as soon as you receive it. This protects your claim in case the ticket is lost or stolen.
Check results after the draw: Draws are held every day of the week. Our Cash4Life results page is updated after each draw with the winning 5 numbers plus the Cash Ball. Compare your numbers carefully across all prize tiers.
Claim your prize: For the top prize, the annuity is $1,000 per day for life (or a $7 million lump-sum option). Smaller prizes can be claimed at retailers or lottery offices, depending on the amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
The top prize is $1,000 a day for life — meaning the winner receives $1,000 every single day until they pass away. If the winner chooses the cash option instead, they receive a one-time lump-sum payment of $7,000,000 before taxes.
The second prize is $1,000 a week for life, awarded to players who match all 5 white ball numbers but miss the Cash Ball. The cash value equivalent for this prize is $1,000,000 as a lump sum. It is still a life-changing amount.
Cash4Life holds draws daily, 7 days a week. This makes it one of the more active lottery games available, with a new opportunity to win every evening. Draw time is 9:00 PM Eastern Time.
The jackpot odds are 1 in 21,846,048 — considerably better than multi-state games like Powerball or Mega Millions. However, winning the lifetime prize still requires matching all 5 main numbers plus the Cash Ball from a pool of 60 and 4 respectively.
Cash4Life is available in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia. Always verify your state's participation status with your local lottery retailer.
Yes. Winners of the top two prizes can elect to take a cash lump-sum payment instead of the lifetime annuity. The trade-off is receiving a lower total amount upfront versus the potentially unlimited total from lifetime payments. Tax treatment differs between the two options.
The original Cash4Life structure guarantees a minimum payment period of 20 years. If a winner passes away before 20 years have elapsed, their estate continues to receive payments for the remainder of that period.
