Based on the Millionaire for Life Jackpot Odds - 1 in 22,910,580.

I opted to get that today instead of MM.

See how it goes 🤞

Good luck to all.

Good choice.

I wish Louisiana had that option. I need to find an excuse to go to Mississippi if I want to play it.

It might have something to do with the fact that 3 of the states that win the other 2 jackpot games don't have Millionaire for Life. Florida, Texas, and California. So there are probably a lot fewer tickets being sold.

That could be true, but when the game was Lucky for Life and Cash 4 Life, we had at least frequent 2nd prize winners.

Given the odds of the game, I will continue to give it a try, at least every Sunday and when I opt not to play MM, I can substitute that with MFL.

It never hurts to try 🤞

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

May Fortuna, goddess of chance or lot vindicate me.

Congrats! Speaking of second prize... here are the Millionaire for Life 1st five digits for next Monday, April 27th, 2026. For the princely sum of $180, you win $100,000 a year for Life. You're Welcome!

Mmh, I appreciate your confidence, and hope that you played those numbers if it's offered where you live.

Someone in OH actually did win the MFL jackpot on this draw.

Maybe they did use your numbers and adjusted them a little bit.

Congratulations 🎉 to the winner 😁

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

From 2/22 when the new MFL game launched, Both the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots have been won twice - each.

We have also had numerous 2nd prize winners for both of the above games.

We are yet to have a jackpot or even a 2nd prize winner with MFL. On 4/22 it will be two months since the game launched.

Does it mean we have fewer people playing MFL in the 31 states where it's available?

The odds of winning are way lower than for both PB and MM, but yet they keep on producing more winners with every draw.

It's Friday and I am torn between buying a MFL ticket or a MM ticket, especially when looking at the above history.

Am I being biased? Am I looking at the games wrongly? As a player should the focus be on the odds of winning or how often people are winning regardless?

Finally we have a winner on the 4/27 draw from OH.

Congratulations 🎉 to the winner

I believe winning the lottery jackpot is a 💯 % factor of luck.

May Fortuna, goddess of chance or lot vindicate me.
