Lucky for Life drawings to offer a lifetime supply of cash every day

July 18, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:40 AM

We can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want to win $1,000 a day for life.

Well now, you will have a chance at playing for that lifetime supply of cash every single day of the week!

The Lucky for Life game begins holding daily drawings starting Monday at 10:38 p.m. Tickets remain $2. Prizes are the same. And the odds of winning those prizes are the same.

We hope you enjoy playing the game any day of the week you like.

If you play Lucky for Life regularly, make sure you get a new Lucky for Life play slip. You can pick them up at stores. The new ones have boxes at the top allowing you to “Select For More Than One Drawing” and a new QR code on the back. Also, the location of the drawings are changing. They will be conducted by the Multi-State Lottery Association in Urbandale, Iowa, the same group that conducts our Powerball drawings.

Since the game started in North Carolina, someone has won $1,000 A Day For Life four times and $25,000 A Year For Life 35 times.

You have 10 ways to win in the game. Some of the 10 prizes are:

$1,000 a Day For Life by matching all six numbers, including the “Lucky Ball” number. Odds are 1 in 30.8 million.
$25,000 a Year For Life by matching the first five numbers − but not the “Lucky Ball.” Odds are 1 in 1.8 million.
$5,000 by matching the first four numbers on the white balls and the Lucky Ball. Odds are 1 in 143,000.

Each of the lifetime prizes are guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years, but will continue to be paid out for the duration of each winner’s lifetime.

Lucky for Life is one of four lottery games where you have the option of buying your tickets through Online Play either through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

To celebrate the game change, we are surprising everyone already subscribed for promotional email with a free play. That’s right, keep an eye on your inbox because digital coupons good for one free $2 Lucky for Life ticket are on their way. But act fast, it’s only good through Thursday.

Haven’t signed up for promotional email? Don’t worry, we want everyone to feel lucky this week so subscribe for promotional email now. Just go to Email Subscriptions in your player dashboard, sign up, and another treat may come your way soon.

Check out our Lucky for Life web pages to learn more about the game.

I played on line where do I find my numbersNC Lottery
Hi Don! To find your numbers from an Online Play, click on your username in the top right corner and select "My Account" - under the "Draw Games" header is a section called "Upcoming Purchased Draws," which should show all info about upcoming draws purchased through Online Play. Hope this helps!

@NCEL I have a suggestion to spice up Pick 3 & 4 let's end the pointless Sum it Up! and add the Fireball like SC & VA. The Fireball option offers way better payout to the players for their money. Make it happen NCEL!

I know, I said I wouldn't play Lucky for life anymore. I did get my FREE ticket today,Thanks NCEL. Oh I did pick up four more tickets also.

So after 25 minutes speaking with a "customer service" representative and I had to explain, in detail, several times, but he still didn't understand. Finally when he knew what I was talking about, he had a supervisor review my account and then told me that not everyone always receives the promotional emails. I then spoke with a supervisor who told me I was getting the $4 off promotion and I again had to explain the promotion I was talking about. After that she stated she would refer my account for review. 25 minutes! Which was my fault for even trying.

Que se inifica si me mandan un texto de luky for life

Hey Chris your numbers/draws aren't in your points history. Go to "MY Account" then look under "past draws". That is where you will be able to find your numbers/draws, for up to a year ago. Hope that helps.

7/19/2021 05:33 - Chris S.

And my favorite Lucky 4 Life numbers got deleted, even from history. Ugh!

We're signed up for promos. We get emails from the lottery periodically as well as whenever we enter lucky reward points but we didn't receive anything for this promotion and we checked our spam folderNC Lottery

I received a coupon for a free lucky for life ticket in my email. Can I use that for online play?NC Lottery
Hi Cynthia, great question! The email coupon for a free Lucky For Life ticket is only for lottery retail locations and vending machines, not for Online Play. We have a separate Lucky For Life promotion for Online Play, which you can read about on our promotions page here: https://nclottery.com/PromotionsSpecialty#!#61. Good luck!

7/19/2021 12:12 - Denver G.

EZ PZ. I just got my 7 day draw LFL ticket online for $10 instead of $14. I also got my Free digital code coupon via email and got a QP for 2nites drawing at the the store. Don't forget to check your spam/junk folder. Hey Jeff, why didn't you just get a 7 day draw 2day and another 7 day next Monday?

7/19/2021 11:49 - Gregory C.

thank you.

7/19/2021 11:21 - Jeffrey L.

Great News, just got my ticket for the next 28 daysNC Lottery
Good luck, Jeffrey! Thanks for being a fan of the lottery.

7/19/2021 10:56 - Frances S.

Are you giving free lucky for life ticket through email if so i did not get oneNC Lottery
Hi Frances, if you have signed up for promotional emails then you should have received the coupon for the free Lucky for Life ticket. You might check to make sure that emails from @lotterync.net addresses aren't being redirected to your spam folder as this is a common occurrence.

7/19/2021 09:28 - Denver G.

Well, I have a 7 draw LFL ticket in my online cart right now. It does indeed say $4 will be deducted from my purchase at check out. It even has the $14 crossed out & replaced with $10. You have to read the rules !!!! Most of the promos always state purchase MUST be on 1 play slip or online purchase must be all together. Not individual tickets or purchases.

7/19/2021 08:31 - Gregory C.

Well, I just purchase 7 Lucky for Life tickets and did not get $4.00 off. It cost me $14.00.NC Lottery
Hi Gregory, sorry about that. Here is a link to the details of this promotion: https://nclottery.com/PromotionsSpecialty#!#61. If your purchase satisfied the requirements of the promotion and you were not given the discount, please call Online Play customer service and they will have a look at your purchase to see what went wrong. Their number is 866-934-0289. Apologies for the inconvenience.

7/18/2021 10:10 - Lisa i.

They should bring back the big money book! It was $20 and totally worth it!!

7/18/2021 08:29 - William A.

GREAT! It's the only draw game on here you can win at. I used to win all the time on cash5 until they added more numbers. Now all I win is a dollar now and then. Powerball and Mega Millions made it so hard to win a small prize it's almost impossible. When you do get the mega ball or powerball the prize is a JOKE! I have won $20 dollars on lucky for life at least 10 times in the past year. Thanks Lucky for Life! Don't waste your time on the other draws.

Now that's good news

7/18/2021 06:56 - Jason R.

I have question. If someone were to win the jackpot and take the cash payment over the annuity, how much would it be pre-tax?NC Lottery
Hi Jason, 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 $5.7 million in cash.

7/18/2021 06:11 - Joyce B.

If you win the lucky for life can you still get the lump sum or you have to do the minimum of 20yrs? NC Lottery
Winners of the top level “for life” prizes are guaranteed $1,000 a day for life. The winner also has the option of taking a lump sum of $5.75 million.

7/18/2021 03:59 - Michael B.

I would like to see NC Lottery offer another multi-state lottery game like Cash 4 Life or Lotto America. NC Lottery
Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. We are listening and really appreciate it.

7/18/2021 01:40 - MORRIS B.

Awesome!! Love this game

7/18/2021 11:02 - Margaret G.

Here we go again. Let’s move this game to everyday so they spend more money. It seem that it’s never enough with NCEL. Also adding on more but don’t improve the prizes at all. I still cannot wrap my mind around a $5.00 scratch off and top prize is not just a brand new corvette BUT it comes with $100,000.00 as well then the new $20.00 ticket all you can win for top prize is $200.00, of course they have a story to tell when you ask about this: We try to reach all player types, which don’t even make sense. As the saying goes when you know better, do better. So NCEL please do better because you already know better.Yes people with a dollar look for a dream but the concern of the lottery is let’s see what else we can add on because they will buy it. Legal corruption.
