New Lottery Draw Game, Millionaire For Life, Launches This Weekend

RALEIGH – Millionaire for Life, a new national draw game from the North Carolina Education Lottery, debuts on Sunday with a top prize of $1 million a year for life.

Millionaire for Life offers an easy-to-play game with drawings held every night. Players simply pick five numbers from 1 to 58 and a Millionaire Ball number from 1 to 5.

“Lottery players will love the thrill of playing the new Millionaire for Life game with a life-changing grand prize up for grabs every night,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We look forward to creating new lifelong winners in North Carolina.”

In addition to the $1 million a year for life top prize, the game offers a second-tier prize of $100,000 a year for life.

The two Millionaire for Life top prizes pay winners for life with payments guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years. Winning players may also choose a lump sum cash option instead of the annuity for life.

Tickets for Millionaire for Life drawings can be purchased for $5 at retail locations where lottery tickets are sold or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

The overall odds to win a prize are 1 in 8.47. The odds to win the top prize are 1 in 22.9 million.

Millionaire for Life becomes the lottery’s first new draw game launched since 2024 when Cash Pop debuted.
