Jackpot US$ 7,000,000

Cash 4 Life – NY Lottery

The New York State Lottery was one of the earliest pioneers in first offering US State Lottery games – being only the 2nd State to do so back in 1967 – following in the footsteps of the New Hampshire Lottery which had started just 3 years earlier.

      The New York Lottery is such a huge concern that its sales outstrip that of the majority of other US Lottery companies making it one of the largest USA Lottery companies in existence.

      From the ouset – the primary purpose of the New York State Lottery was to raise much needed capital for the State education system and it is towards this area that over US$ 51 Billion has been raised since the NY Lottery first commenced operations.

    The NY Lottery has a wide portfolio of games from which players can choose to play – including in-State New York Lotto, the Multi-State games of Mega Millions and Powerball and the replacement for the now-retired New York Lottery Sweet Million – Cash4Life – which we shall be taking a closer look at here...

New York Lottery Cash4 Life – Overview

Cash4Life is one of the latest additions to the New York Lottery range of games – with Cash 4 Life tickets being first put on sale by the NY Lottery on June 13th 2014 and the inaugural draw taking place on June 16th of that year.

 The NY Cash4Life was introduced as a natural follow-on for the Sweet Million Lottery which was retired by the New York Lottery on June 12th 2014.

Cash 4 Life is a Multi State Lottery – initially being offered by both the New York State Lottery alongside the New Jersey Lottery. The Pennsylvania Lottery joined forces in selling Cash4Life tickets on April 7th 2015 followed by the Virginia Lottery on May 3rd and the Tennessee Lottery on November 1st the same year.

On January 26th 2016 the Mayland Lottery came on board with the Georgia Lottery joining on August 29th and last but not least the Indiana Lottery on September 19th of the same year.

So now there are a grand total of 8 separate US State Lottery companies that offer their players the chance to play CASH4LIFE.

Draws for the NY Lottery Cash4Life take place twice every week on both Mondays and Thursdays at 9.00pm EST.

      We are happy to have carried out a thorough review of the Cash4Life New York and would encourage you to see just how it works in comparison to other USA Lottery games by reading on...

New York Lottery Cash4Life – How it Works

The NY Cash4Life uses a dual matrix of 5/60 and 1 /4 which means that when playing you will need to first choose 5 main numbers out of a range drawn from 1 to 60 and then pick 1 green Cash Ball out of a range from 1 to 4.

Should you correctly select all 5 of the main winning lottery numbers plus the Cash Ball you will be the winner of the Cash 4 Life jackpot which differs from other jackpot lottery games in that it does not rollover if not won but is a fixed amount.

If you are the only jackpot winner you will be paid either a one-off lump sum of US$ 7 MILLION or US$ 7,000 every week for the rest of your life. The 2nd prize is also paid in a similar manner – either as a lump sum of US$ 1 MILLION or US$ 1,000 each week for the rest of your life.

The New York Lottery uses a random number generator to draw all 5 of the main Cash 4 Life numbers plus the Cash Ball.

      You can use the Quick Pick option that is available at all retailers and online agents to select your numbers automatically – this means that the retailer's or agent's computer will choose your numbers automatically using its lottery number picker.

The cost of each play on Cash4Life is US$ 2 and 55% of all lottery ticket sales for the game go towards making up the prize fund.

New York Lottery Cash4 Life – Who Can Play?

Historically – only US Lottery players were permitted to take part in any of the hundreds of US State Lottery games and Multi State lottery games available – you would have had to buy lottery tickets from a retailer or agent who was actually situated in New York State.

These days it is possible to play Cash4Life from pretty much anywhere in the world no matter where you live due to the presence of online lottery ticket sales companies such as TheLotter.

For jackpot prizes or 2nd level prizes you have the option of choosing to receive Cash For Life or a one time lump sum payment. You will need to make this important choice within 60 days of claiming your prize.

For all NY Lottery prizes – your ticket will become invalid if you do not make your winning claim within 365 days of the draw date.

Any prize that you have won up to US$ 600 – you will be able to claim from any New York Lottery retailer.

Prizes of anything from US$ 601 and US$ 1/2 Million will need to be claimed at one of the NYLottery Regional Customer Service Centers.

Any prize win of more than US$ 1/2 Million including a Jackpot prize can also be claimed at a NY Lottery Regional Customer Service Center which will then be sent to the Schenectady Prize Payment Unit for payment.

You will not need to be concerned with these points on claiming prizes if you play lottery online, however, as your authorized and genuine lottery ticket sales agent – such as TheLotter – will take care of everything for you and ensure that you are paid promptly.

NY Lottery Cash4Life – Where the Money Goes

Nothing has changed since 1966 when 66% of the voting public approved the New York Constitution which agreed that all profits from New York Lottery games would be directed towards funding education within the State of New York.

Today the same applies with 100% of all proceeds generated by the sales of New York State Lottery games – including Cash4Life – being used for the support of education in New York State.
