NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The Tennessee Education Lottery (TEL) announced that it will be joining 30 other lotteries across the country to launch the Millionaire For Life game.

The new drawing-style game offers a daily chance to win $1 million for life. TEL said the game features daily drawings with nine ways to win and includes a second-tier prize of $100,000 a year for life.

“One way we continue to be successful at raising billions for education in Tennessee is to keep our games fresh and exciting,” said Lottery President and CEO Rebecca Paul. “Millionaire For Life is destined to be a hit with players, which means an even bigger win for the education programs we fund.”

Millionaire For Life ticket sales begin Sunday, Feb. 22, and the first drawing will be held that night at 10:15 p.m. Here are some additional details about the game:

• Tickets are $5 per play.
• Players choose five numbers from 1 through 58, then one number (Millionaire Ball) from 1 to 5.
• Players may also select “Quick Pick” for the computer to randomly pick any or all of the numbers for the play.

TEL said the overall prize odds are one in eight, with odds to win the grand prize at 1 in 22.9 million.
