November 10, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 1:59 PM

Monday’s Lucky for Life drawing produced a $1,000 A Day for Life top prize for one lucky winner who bought their ticket at a grocery store in Wake County.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Wegmans Food Market on Davis Drive in Morrisville.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 22-24-33-42-45, and the gold Lucky Ball number, 5, to beat odds of 1 in 30.8 million.

Winners of the Lucky for Life top prize have two options. They can receive an annuity of $365,000 a year guaranteed for the rest of the winner’s life, or take a lump sum of $5.75 million.

The winner has 180 days to claim their prize.

Lucky for Life tickets cost $2 and offers players 10 ways to win a prize. Drawings are held on Monday and Thursday nights.

Does the 25K/year prize also have a lump sum option?NC Lottery
Hi Matthew, that's a great question! Lucky for Life $25k/year winners also have the option of taking a lump sum of $390,000. Winners of the $1,000/day top prize have the option of taking a $5.75 million lump sum.

I saw a comment elsewhere that the prize was guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years. What is the legal commitment from NCEL for annuity prize winners - is there an actual contract?NC Lottery
Hi Matthew, that is correct, in the event a player took the "For Life" prize, the prize would pay out for a minimum of 20 years, or as long as the winner is alive, whichever is longer.

Is the Lucky for Life game only for NC residents or do other states have LFL. NC Lottery
Hi Antonio, Lucky for Life is a multi-state game, meaning it's a game that is offered by many lotteries across the country. In total twenty-six states across the country sell Lucky for Life.

Healthy, Wealthy & Wise. Don't know if this LFL winner was wealthy before or not and I don't care. They are pretty well off now. Congrats to them whom ever they may be. Stay healthy and make wise decisions and ENJOY your good fortune. TOP SHELF AND FIRST CLASS. Spread joy to others that might need it.....

Where does the Lottery Commission stockpile their money to pay someone $1,000 a day for their rest of their life ? That can be quite a bit of cash ! NC Lottery
Hey Stan, that's a great question. Remember that not all lottery tickets can be winners, so all lottery prizemoney comes from the sale of non-winning tickets.
