The odds may be better than Powerball or Mega Millions, but I wouldn't spend $20 on a scratch-off ticket.

And the there may not be a big winner

I think CA can make theirs cheaper because of population.

It seemed pricey, but the current 250,000 game there is $20.

This one has the chance at 2 mil for the same price.

FL has a series of Life games..

FL's $10 Lucky for Life game has 4 Top Prizes (1 left) for $100,000 year for life and also a $20 scratcher called $200,000 for Life

It almost sounds like this is a raffle in scratcher form.

$20 sounds a little steep for such a game.

Curently Illinois has a $1, $500 a week for life game, 12 top prizes

$2, $1,000 a week for life, 12 top prizes

and a$5, $2500 a week for life, 4 top prizes.

The ads say The longer you live the more you win .

I know that usually gambling prizes (someone dies in a casino and has chips in the rail on a crap table, for instance) go into a perons's estate, but I'm not sure about this... [ More ]

Just to clarify, I have no information other than what I read in the article.

But it doesn't seem to mention any contingency for awarding the $2 million other than giving the 5th finalist a shot at it.

What I said is just my opinion from what I read in the article.

No the top prize is 250,000

With the possibility of 2 million.

Love to know how they are going to advertise this.. Figure out the odds.

I know it's gambling but this is like a bait and switch.

I can't think of another game where the top prize might not be awarded.

The For Life is the selling point. Really it's just a 2 million dollar top prize. For $20 a ticket not much of a great game now I thought about it some more. Would be great if it's a lum sum 2 millions but over the spand of 20yrs not so good. Players beware! lol

I think they will find this is illegal.

You can't make money off this and not give away the top prize.

Casinos can't do it in free no way they should be allowed to do it to paying customers.

Sounds like an ok game but they should just call it what it is - a $20 scratcher with the possibility of a 2 million dollar top prize paid by an annuity over a 20 year period. Only one person, the 5th finalist, will have a chance to win the top prize and if he doesn't, it won't be awarded to anyone.

And I've never understood how you can get away with calling 20 years for life . If someone wins one of these at 20 years old, do they die at 40
