Actually there are 2 top prizes on the $10 and $20 life series tickets. I was wrong. The top prize on the $20 ticket is $2,125,000 so at $100,000 a year for life' would work out to 21.25 years. I believe like lotto if you won the top prize you could take the $2,125,000 in a lump sum. I don't think, for instance if someone was 20 years old and won the top prize, they would pay him a hundred grand a year if he lived to be 80, there is a cap on it.

$2 Cash for Life = $10k/yr/life$5 Bonus for Life = $25k/yr/life$10 Loaded for Life = $50k/yr/life$20 Lucky for Life = $100k/yr/life (replacement for existing version)

What's interesting is that the prize amounts are typical of ones you'd see for a one-time prize in similar sized states ($10k on a $2 ticket, etc.). Adding the for life component is a really nea... [ More ]
