Lucky for Life

Lucky for Life (LFL) is a lottery drawing game, which, as of June 28, 2021, is available in 22 states and the District of Columbia.

Lucky for Life, which began in 2009 in Connecticut as Lucky-4-Life, became a New England–wide game three years later, and added eleven lotteries during 2015.

Lucky for Life is drawn nightly (7 days a week) at approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

The format upon the change to its current name was 5/40 + 1/21; the 2013 game modification (including the new second "lifetime" prize tier and the introduction of a cash option) had 43 balls in each of the two drums.

The 5/43 + 1/43 version never produced a top prize-winning ticket; the first winner under the current matrix was sold in South Carolina for the November 19, 2015 drawing.

Missouri ended sales of Lucky for Life on April 8, 2021, switching to Cash4Life three days later.
