The Lucky for Life™ game matrix also changed. Players select five (5) out of forty-eight (48) numbers and one (1) out of eighteen (18) Lucky Ball numbers.

Players need to match all six (6) numbers to win the top prize of $1,000 a day for life, and those who match the first five (5) numbers, and not the Lucky Ball, win the second prize of $25,000 a year for life. Other prizes range from $3 to $5,000. 

Lucky for Life™ began in March of 2012 as a game offered only in the six New England states, and to date there had been seven (7) top prize winners of $1,000 a Day for Life and forty-nine (49) second prize winners of $25,000 a year for life. In addition to the six New England states, the new Lucky for Life™ game will now be available in Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, and South Carolina.
