In only three months, two tickets have won $1 million for life. (Image: MUSL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Millionaire for Life is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/powerball-launching-new-nationwide-lottery-draw-game\/\">nightly nationwide drawing<\/a> that offers players the long odds of 1 in more than 22.9 million of winning $1 million a year for life. But in just three months, the game\u2019s top prize has been won twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">The latest winner comes by way of New York. State lottery officials there say a $5 Millionaire for Life play was sold at the Price Chopper supermarket in Richfield Springs, located at 1 Main Street.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The winning ticket matched all six numbers during the game\u2019s drawing on Thursday, May 21. The winning numbers were 3, 15, 16, 24, 28, and the Millionaire Ball was 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Two Millionaires for Life<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) is the nonprofit organization that operates Powerball on behalf of its 48 participating member jurisdictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">MUSL debuted Millionaire for Life on Sunday, Feb. 22, with the game giving lottery players a way to win each day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While Powerball is drawn three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET, Millionaire for Life is drawn nightly. Millionaire is also drawn later at 11:15 pm ET, providing players a bit more time to make their play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Last Friday\u2019s Millionaire for Life jackpot is the second after a player in Ohio won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/zoltar-made-famous-in-big-delivers-powerball-win\/\">top prize<\/a> during the drawing on April 27. That play was sold at the Giant Eagle supermarket in Cleveland at 15325 Edgecliff Avenue. The ticket has yet to be redeemed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both winners must decide whether to take the annual $1 million prize or a one-time cash option of $18 million. Along with an effective federal tax of 37%, the Ohio win will be subjected to a 2.75% state tax. The New York windfall will face a 10.9% state levy, the highest state lottery tax in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ohio Lottery rules give winners 180 days from the drawing date to redeem. The Millionaire for Life winner in New York has 365 days from the drawing date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Millionaire for Life Estate Guarantee<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To ensure that a winner of the Millionaire for Life games who suddenly passes can still bequeath financial means to their beneficiaries, MUSL included a stipulation that those who choose the annuity receive $1 million for at least 20 years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">So, if a winner dies after just two years, their estate will continue to receive $1 million for the next 18 years. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Known as the 20-year guarantee, the terms also apply to Millionaire for Life\u2019s second-tier prize of $100,000 a year for life.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The $100,000 a year for life prize was also won during the May 21 drawing. A ticket sold in Michigan overcame the odds of 1 in more than 5.72 million to decide between $100,000 a year for life or a one-time cash prize of $2.2 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/millionaire-for-life-crowns-second-winner-in-three-months\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted on: May 25, 2026, 04:16h.\u00a0 Last updated on: May 26, 2026, 04:07h.
