New York Millionaire for Life: Live Results Today, Annuity Payouts & Player Guide

Welcome to the live winning numbers portal and official player resource for New York Millionaire for Life. Introduced across participating state lottery jurisdictions in February 2026, Millionaire for Life represents an elite daily annuity draw game engineered for players seeking continuous lifelong financial freedom and security. Official Millionaire for Life drawings take place every single evening—7 nights a week at 10:38 PM Eastern Time (ET). Ticket sales close at 10:20 PM ET on drawing nights across New York lottery retailers and registered digital courier platforms.

Millionaire for Life features one of the most prestigious top prizes in modern lottery gaming: $1,000,000 every single year for life (or an immediate one-time lump sum cash option of $7.5 Million). Unlike traditional rolling jackpot games that vary wildly in prize value, the top prize in Millionaire for Life is a guaranteed lifelong annuity paid annually for a minimum of 20 years or the natural life of the winner, whichever is longer. Furthermore, the game features a second-tier prize awarding $50,000 every year for life (or a $500,000 cash option) for matching all 5 white balls without the Lucky Ball.

Tickets cost $5.00 per standard play. Players select 5 white balls from a field of 1 to 58 and 1 green Lucky Ball from a pool of 1 to 4. The odds of matching all 5 white balls plus the Lucky Ball to claim the top prize of $1,000,000 a Year for Life are 1 in 22,957,480. The overall odds of winning any cash prize across its eight prize divisions are an outstanding 1 in 8.46, making nearly one out of every eight tickets a winner! Lower-tier prizes range from $1,000 for Match 4+LB down to $5 for Match 1+LB or Lucky Ball only.

100% of net proceeds from Millionaire for Life ticket sales in New York are dedicated to supporting New York Public K-12 Education (Foundation Aid) across all 62 counties. All prizes over $5,000 are subject to New York State tax withholding (8.82%), federal tax withholding (24%), and New York City tax (3.876%) where applicable.
