Decided to pay $5 and try the millionaire for life game. This game reminds me a lot of How the prize lineup used to be for a lucky for life, except for you pay three extra dollars. Also, there’s no prize if you hit the millionaire ball only. Another disappointment is that if you guessed two regular numbers, the prize is the same amount if you guess one number and the millionaire ball.??? $8 either way

Hello :) I hope you're doing well. I wonder if there are 2 winner for 1st(1 Million / a year),2nd($100,000/a year) place, there needs to split the winning prize?NC Lottery
Hi, Mali! Yes - if multiple tickets match the winning numbers, the top prize would be split among the winning tickets. If there are less than 20 winners of the 2nd tier prize, each winner would each receive $100,000 a year for life - if there were more than 20 winners of that prize for a given drawing, they would split a prize as well.
