The current odds of hitting the top prize in Cash 4 Life are 1 in 21,846,048.

Where I live we have Lucky for Life instead and the current odds of hitting Lucky for Life top prize are 1 in 30,821,472

The new Millionaire For Life odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 22.9 million .

Depending on where you live, the odds could either improve or get a little harder for you.

There is also the difference in the amount won.

I play Lucky for Life a lot, I will be playing the new... [ More ]

All this carping about ticket prices is really just helping to mask that wages have in no way shape or form kept pace with inflation.

When a game goes from $2 to 5 people can afford it if they play the game less often.

If you're playing a game, enjoying it and winning off it, then more power to you. I'd be surprised if Florida doesn't miss the revenue from the game you're playing and add the $5 version eventually. Hang in there and congratulations on your wins

My best results of any draw game come from Cash4Life. I play a set of numbers. I'd play the new $5 M4L game too, but my state isn't offering it. I plan to play the last week drawings of cash4life before the game is discontinued. So I guess I am sort of a dissenting opinion.

While I have to agree with everything that's been said in this thread about Millionaire4Life, There is this - some players will quit playing a game that went from 2 dollars per line to 5 dollars because they can't afford it.

MUSL and the state lottery's are well aware that some players won't be able to afford to play the new game, but they also know players that can't afford it don't and cant move the needle with regard to ticket sales. Therefore they aren't concerned about those players not... [ More ]

The trend toward $5 as minimum bet does seem likely to continue. Looks like PA is headed in the same direction, we're on the list for the new game. I've played Cash4Life maybe 2 dozen times and never did particularly well with it.

Not likely to play the $5 version. Even the odds on the $2 version seemed crazy high even for the lower end prizes.

I agree with you 100%. Bring out a decent $1 game with a reasonably good jackpot and achievable odds on the lower level prizes and we'd be all ov... [ More ]

NY is discontinuing Cash for Life Feb 21 which I play and replacing it with Millionaire For Life.

Choose 1-58 instead of 1-60 and bonus ball 1-5 instead of 1-4. Which make the odds worse by 1 million.

$5 a ticket daily drawings!!! instead of $2 and daily drawings. Are you kidding me?

NY pricing themselves out of daily players. Keep the games cheap.

I'm out.
