A major new lottery game promising to create instant millionaires with a guaranteed annual income is set to launch across the United States later this month.
What is the 'Millionaire For Life' Game?
The new game, named 'Millionaire For Life', is scheduled to begin in late February and will be available in 30 different lottery jurisdictions nationwide. It replaces two existing games, Cash4Life and Lucky for Life, offering a significantly enhanced top-tier prize.
The headline prize is truly transformative: winners will receive $1 million every year for the rest of their life. For those who prefer immediate wealth, there is an alternative: a one-time lump sum payment of $18 million.
Prize Tiers and How to Play
There is also a substantial second prize. Players who match the next tier of numbers will win $100,000 annually for life, or can opt for a single payment of $2.2 million.
Tickets for the draw will cost $5 each. Unlike weekly lotteries, 'Millionaire For Life' will hold draws every single day. The winning numbers will be announced each evening after 10:00 PM Central Time.
Launch Date and Details
The inaugural draw is marked for Sunday, 22 February 2026. This daily format offers frequent opportunities to win, though the odds of securing the life-changing top prizes are expected to be long.
The introduction of 'Millionaire For Life' represents a significant shift in the US lottery landscape, moving beyond massive one-off jackpots to the allure of guaranteed, perpetual luxury. It caters to a dream of sustained financial security rather than a single windfall, a concept that is likely to capture the public's imagination on both sides of the Atlantic.
