About Millionaire for Life
Millionaire for Life replaced Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in February 2026. It's drawn every night, and every prize is fixed: three white balls pays $50, four pays $500, and five pays $100,000 a year for life. That makes every wheel guarantee here worth a known amount.
Matching two white balls pays $8, but matching only the Millionaire Ball pays nothing, which is unusual: in most games the bonus ball alone wins something.
What Millionaire for Life wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match ($50) whenever at least three of the winning numbers are among the ones you mark. The more numbers you mark, the more often that happens, and the more tickets it takes.
| Numbers you mark | Tickets | Cost per draw | Cost per week | How often the guarantee comes into play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 of 58 | 8 | $40 | $280 | 1 in 64 draws, about once every 2 months |
| 10 of 58 | 17 | $85 | $595 | 1 in 31 draws, about once every 4 weeks |
| 12 of 58 | 29 | $145 | $1,015 | 1 in 18 draws, about once every 3 weeks |
| 15 of 58 | 55 | $275 | $1,925 | 1 in 9.7 draws, about once a week or more |
| 18 of 58 | 94 | $470 | $3,290 | 1 in 6.0 draws, about once a week or more |
The cost per week covers all 7 draws a week. The tool above also has cheaper wheels with weaker guarantees, and bigger ones that guarantee four or five numbers.

All prizes are fixed. "For life" prizes are paid yearly for at least 20 years; average return counts the second prize at its $2.2 million cash value. Two to twenty top-prize winners share the $1 million a year, with at least $50,000 a year each. Matching only the Millionaire Ball pays nothing.

Can a wheel improve your odds?
No. Each line still has the same 1 in 22,910,580 chance at the top prize and returns about $1.86 in other prizes on average, however you choose its numbers. What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped: random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your numbers, and a wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them.

Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. In Millionaire for Life, going from 8 to 18 numbers takes the cost from $40 to $470 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 64 draws to 1 in 6.0. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
Which Millionaire Ball should I use?
Your choice. Putting the same Millionaire Ball on every ticket means that if it's drawn, every ticket matches it. Mixing them means more of your tickets have a chance, but only one or two can match. On average the two pay the same.
How do I play these tickets?
Fill in a playslip line for each ticket at a lottery retailer, or enter them in your state lottery's app if it sells tickets online. Each state page explains the local rules.
