Cash4Life Rules

Cash4Life lets you bet on the outcome of America's Cash4Life. You select numbers in the same way as Cash4Life lottery players and the result of your bet is decided by the underlying lottery draw held at Studio B of the New York Lottery Headquarters at Lawrence Park Complex in Trenton, New Jersey, United States.

Cash4Life draws every evening at 21:00 Eastern Time (ET). This is normally 02:00 UK time.

Summary

  • Draws daily at 21:00 Eastern Time (ET), which is approximately 02:00 UK time
  • 1 in 7.8 chance of winning a prize per line bet
  • 9 ways to win
  • 5/60 + 1/4 (Cash Ball) format
  • Advance purchase option normally available

How to play and win

To make a bet:

A line bet consists of 6 numbers from 2 separate pools:

  • 5 different numbers from 1 to 60
  • 1 number from 1 to 4, known as the Cash Ball

You can choose your own numbers or use quick pick to have numbers selected for you.

Bet options:

You can:

  • Add line bets to your bet slip.
  • Bet upcoming draws with the future draws option, subject to availability.
  • Boost your line bets up to 32 times, subject to availability.

To win:

The objective is to match the numbers for each individual line bet to the numbers drawn in the underlying lottery draw.

  • 5 main numbers are drawn and 1 separate Cash Ball is drawn.
  • Matching all 5 main numbers and the Cash Ball in one line bet wins the jackpot.
  • You can only win 1 prize (the highest matching prize tier) for each line bet.

See below for all matching combinations.

How to check your results

Combinations & odds of winning

For prize values, see the prizes tab. Prize types are defined as follows:

  • Type A is a jackpot and means that the prize pool in this category will be divided by the total of all winning combinations by Lottomart players, players in the EU Lotto network, and players of the underlying lottery draw.
  • Type B is the same as Type A but is not a jackpot.
  • Type C means the prize awarded is independent of winners in the underlying draw and is not further adjusted by winning combinations by Lottomart players or players in the EU Lotto network.
