About Cash4Life
Cash4Life is a multi-state game with a unique annuity-style top prize: $1,000 per day for life. Pick 5 numbers from 1–60 plus a Cash Ball from 1–4. Drawings are held nightly at 9:00 PM ET. The second prize, $1,000 per week for life, is also a lifelong payout.
Tips for Playing Cash4Life
- The Cash Ball is drawn from a pool of just 1–4, making it far easier to match than the bonus balls in Powerball or Mega Millions. You have a 1-in-4 chance of matching it on any given entry.
- The second prize ($1,000 per week for life) has odds of approximately 1 in 7,282,016, still a life-altering prize for a $2 ticket.
- Cash4Life is sold in Pennsylvania and several neighboring states, including New York and New Jersey. Prize claims and payment rules vary slightly by state.
Cash4Life: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cash4Life top prize really paid for life?
Yes. The top prize pays $1,000 per day (equivalent to $365,000 per year) for the winner's lifetime, subject to a minimum guaranteed payment period as specified in the official rules. The second prize of $1,000 per week for life is structured similarly. Always review the official Cash4Life prize claim rules for full details.
What is the Cash Ball in Cash4Life?
The Cash Ball is a single bonus number drawn separately from a pool of just 1–4. You must match all 5 main numbers AND the Cash Ball to win the top prize. Because the Cash Ball pool is so small (just four possibilities), your chance of matching it is 1 in 4, much better than the bonus ball odds in other jackpot games.
