  I live in the great state of Tennessee and we now have CASH 4 LIFE. The 2 top prizes are $1000.00 a day for life and $1000.00 a week for life. (I think they consider life as 20 years)

  The tickets are $2.00 each per play. I like playing the game but I rarely see any top winners and no one from TN has won the 1st or 2nd top prizes yet. The most I have won was $10.00 I had 2 #'s plus the cash ball.

  I know the odds have to be high considering you must have 5 white balls from 1-60 and 1 cash ball 1-4

  Should I keep playing it or put the money towards Powerball or Mega Millions?

  Do you play CASH 4 LIFE?

  Have you won any prizes yet?

  I stopped being a regular player of powerball after the matrix change and now I buy two cash4life tickets instead. I regularly play Megamillions and seriously considered just buying more tickets for that game but I liked the idea of two more nights with drawings.

  With Cash4Life I would take the $7 million cash prize vs. the $1000 a day for life.  I have trust issues (as in I don't trust my state). 

  I have more success winning a little back with Cash4Life vs. MegaMillions. I buy 15 draws at a time so the total spent is $60. When I turn the ticket in at the end of the run I almost always get $20 back. With MegaMillions I think I get about $10 back.

  Buying Cash4Life is just another example of how my lottery play has changed over the years. When I was younger it was all about the really big bucks and I wouldn't have "wasted" my money on a measly $7 million cash prize. As I get older I now would be thrilled to get a " measly" $7 million.

  It's the only game I play every draw. 

  JP is 1: 21,846,048

  2nd is 1: 7,282,016

  I haven't won much either but more then on the big odds games.

  Good luck !

  No one wins it and the payouts suck compared to the big games. Add in the fact that it costs $2 and I'll pass.

  Cash4Life

  
  If your 5 numbers plus the Cash Ball match the winning numbers drawn, then you win or share the First Prize.*
  

  PRIZE LEVEL	WINNING NUMBERS MATCHED PER GAME	CHANCES OF WINNING PER GAME	PRIZE
  First	5 + Cash Ball	1 in: 21,846,048	$1,000 a day for Life
  Second	5	1 in: 7,282,016	$1,000 a week for Life
  Third	4 + Cash Ball	1 in: 79,440	$2,500
  Fourth	4	1 in: 26,480	$500
  Fifth	3 + Cash Ball	1 in: 1,471	$100
  Sixth	3	1 in: 490	$25
  Seventh	2 + Cash Ball	1 in: 83	$10
  Eighth	2	1 in: 28	$4
  Ninth	1 + Cash Ball	1 in: 13	$2

  Overall Odds: 1 in 8

  With the odds of winning first prize 21,846,048 to 1 is not bad when compared to the big odds of Mega & Powerball. That's not saying it's not hard to win, but you do have a better chance to win "C4L"

  $7 mil (less taxes) is better in the bank than nothing!
