Lucky for Life, the multi-state draw game that offers lottery players throughout New England the opportunity to win up to $1,000 a day, every day, for their entire life, is going to get a lot more "lively" with the addition of another lifetime prize to its robust prize offerings.

Beginning with the September 19th, 2013 drawing, Lucky for Life's second-tier prize will be elevated to a $25,000 a year for life payout, making it the only game in the country that offers two lifetime prizes. This new prize replaces the game's current second prize -- a one-time, lump sum payment of $25,000.

"We've spoken extensively to Lucky for Life players across New England and it comes as no surprise -- they want more lifetime prizes," said Greg Smith, Executive Director of the Vermont Lottery. "The changes that we're introducing this fall will provide players with what they've been asking."

Lucky for Life launched in March, 2012 and is the first and only lottery game to be played in all six New England states. In its 18 months in the marketplace, the game has produced seven top prize winners and upwards of 150 second prize winners.

Lucky for Life will continue to offer players 10 total ways to win. With the addition of this exciting new prize, players will now choose their first five numbers from a field of 43 and one (1) Lucky Ball number out of a field of 43. Those matching all six numbers drawn will still win the game's $1,000 a day for life top prize, while those matching the first five numbers drawn will win the new $25,000 a year for life second prize. Both "for life" prizes will be guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years, but will continue to be paid out for the duration of each winner's lifetime.

In addition to its coveted lifetime prizes, Lucky for Life also features other desirable cash prizes ranging from $3,000 down to $2. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are 1 in 8.6. A lump sum option will be offered on the lifetime prizes, all lower-tiered prizes are paid out in one-time, lump sum payments.

Lucky for Life tickets are $2 each and can be purchased at Vermont Lottery retailers as well as those in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. All winning tickets must be redeemed in the state they were purchased.

Drawings are held every Monday and Thursday at 10:38 p.m. in Connecticut and aired live on FOX CT/Channel 61 in Hartford with game results and drawing videos posted on www.NELuckyforLife.com.
