Second Life-Millionaire Wins Jackpot Within Three Months

(AsiaGameHub) –   Millionaire for Life is a lottery game most people immediately hope to win as soon as they hear its name. Though the chances of winning are extremely slim, two people have managed to achieve this impressive milestone in just three months.

Second Millionaire for Life Jackpot Winner Has Not Come Forward to Claim Their Prize

With winning odds set at 1 in 22.9 million, only sheer random luck can land a player this highly coveted prize, and that is exactly what happened when a New York resident took home the $5 Millionaire for Life jackpot, per confirmation from state officials.

Additional details have been released to help locate the winner. The winning ticket was purchased at the Price Chopper located at 1 Main Street in Richfield Springs. The draw was held on Thursday, May 21, and the ticket matched all winning numbers: 3, 15, 16, 24 and 28, plus the Millionaire Ball 4. 

Millionaire for Life Winners Remain Unidentified As They Have Not Claimed Their Prizes

Millionaire for Life is a newly launched game operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association, the same body that runs the Powerball. The game first launched on Sunday, February 22, and has already produced two jackpot winners.

This quick succession of wins has a potential explanation: Millionaire for Life holds draws every evening, unlike Powerball, which runs draws three times a week. The earlier jackpot was won by a ticket holder in Ohio on Monday, April 27, but that winner also has not come forward to claim their prize yet. A 180-day claim deadline is in place, after which unclaimed prizes are forfeited.

When claiming the Millionaire for Life jackpot, winners generally have two payout options: they can either select a one-time lump sum of $18 million, or choose to receive a $1 million annual annuity paid out over 20 years.
