Millionaire for Life is the lottery game that most people would want to win when they first hear what its name is. While the odds are pretty long, two people have managed to pull off the same feat in the space of only three months.

Millionaire for Life Second Winner Yet to Step Forward, Claim Reward

With odds set at 1 in 22.9 million, nothing but pure blind luck could actually lead a person to the coveted award, and this is precisely what happened when someone in New York claimed the $5 Millionaire for Life jackpot, with state officials confirming the happy event.

Further details were released to help identify the person. Apparently, the winner bought their ticket at the Price Chopper at Richfield Springs, 1 Main Street. The event occurred on Thursday, May 21, and they managed to hit the lucky numbers set at 3, 15, 16, 24, and 28, along with the Millionaire Ball 4. 

Millionaire for Life Winners Yet to Step Forward, Claim Reward

Millionaire for Life is a newly introduced game that is run by the Multi-State Lottery Association, which also runs the Powerball. The game was originally launched on Sunday, February 22, and it has already produced two winners.

There may be a reason why this is the case, as draws for Millionaire for Life happen every evening, compared to the Powerball, which runs draws three times a week. The previous jackpot was won in Ohio on Monday, April 27, but the winner has still not stepped forward to claim the reward, with a 180-day deadline set before the prize is forfeited.

As to claiming the Millionaire for Life reward, those who win usually have two options- they may either opt for the lump sum, which is $18 million, or if they prefer, choose the $1 million annuity for 20 years.
