If [winner] gets hit by a bus tomorrow ... heirs will collect ...

I'd like to see a lottery put that in the rules.

I don't see what people are confused by. It pays $1 million a year for life, with a guaranteed minimum of $20 million. If she gets hit by a bus tomorrow her heirs will collect another 19 payments. If she lives for 100 years she'll collect another 99 payments.

there are plenty of contests that offer lifetime whatever and they are not infinite. They have a finite number of whatever may it be ding dongs or razor blades and once you use them up it is over.

In your case you're confused about... [ More ]

Congrats to the family on that great prize! I saw one where people win tickets to games for life. I'd love a prize like that, too

19 years of marriage and he still calls her baby!!!

That is a strong marriage and a very happy marriage.

She won the lottery when she said I do 19 years ago.

The million dollars a year for life is just the icing on the cake.

Actually the first traces of a lottery dates back to the Han Dynasty from 205 to 187 B.C.

In 1567 Queen Elizabeth I, established the first English state lottery.

In 1744 the first lottery was introduced to the Massachusetts colonies.

In 1776 the first national lottery was introduced by the Continental Congress.

The main reason was to raise funds for the American Revolution.

I think there have been lotteries in this country since the 1600's.

i don't know about those other contests, but what dpoly1 said is correct.

Untrue, there are plenty of contests that offer lifetime whatever and they are not infinite. They have a finite number of whatever may it be ding dongs or razor blades and once you use them up it is over. There is a $20 raffle here in my state that had multiple one million dollar prizes and a two million dollar grand prize and they actually postponed the final drawing a month and a half because they did not sell enough tickets, so I am skeptical about whether this is a true lifetime prize becaus...

If you die before 20 years is up, your estate gets a guaranteed $20 Million! If you live longer, it is For Life !

This is not complicated.

VenomV12 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:12:50 GMT

I was confused by that at first, still am somewhat. The article says for a minimum of 20 years so maybe it goes past that, or maybe they only expect her to live until 57 and then whack her. lol

On the other hand if she lives to 100 years old are they really going to pay her $63 million?

Regardless, congratulations to her and her family.

Great story and I'm glad for them.

One thing I wonder about though is how they can call it For Life when it's only for 20 years.

A lot of games say that.

Why wouldn't an 80+ year old enjoy it

Congratulations Yuliya, your husband sure has powerful 'picking power,' doesn't he?

With sharing amongst themselves, now the Lankri Family will be able to afford a more comfortable lifestyle for the rest of their lifetime.

HaveABall — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:11:54 GMT

That makes no sense, since several folks are living (usually uncomfortably) to 100 years old these days, AND these annuities are all transferable to an heir(s) upon one's death

What a great Win for someone that seems that they will actually enloy it. Would hate to see some 80+ yr old win this kind of prize

The 14-year-old, she doesn't care. She said, 'Don't worry, this [first] million dollars is going to go so fast and you'll have nothing left,' her mom said.

Smart kid.

NY woman wins $1M a year for life

Lottery Post — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:18:57 GMT

It was a Hanukkah miracle!

Long Island mom Yuliya Lankri said her husband's holiday gift of a New York Lottery scratch-off ticket will pay $1 million a year for life with a guarantee of at least $20 million.

Miracles happen, and they happen on Hanukkah, and I believe in that, beamed Lankri, 37, of Valley Stream, at a press conference called by the state Lottery Commission in late January.

The stay-at-home housewife and mother of three said her husband, Gabriel, 46, bought the $30 Win... [ More ]
