How to Play Millionaire for Life

$5Daily5 × [1–58] + 1 × [1–5]

Overview

Millionaire for Life is a multi-state game sold in Colorado: pick five numbers from 1–58 and a Millionaire Ball from 1–5 for $5 per play. Matching all five plus the Millionaire Ball wins $1,000,000 a year for life; matching all five wins $100,000 a year for life. Drawings are every night around 9:15 p.m. MT.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 5 numbers

    Choose 5 numbers from 1 to 58, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Select 1 bonus number

    Choose 1 bonus number from 1 to 5. This ball is drawn separately from the main numbers.

  3. 3. Pick your Millionaire Ball

    Choose one Millionaire Ball from 1–5 in addition to your five main numbers. It is drawn from a separate drum, and matching it alone with one main number still pays $8.

  4. 4. Choose how many drawings

    Pay $5 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
