Two prizes for life

A prize designed for ongoing payments

Two of Daily Grand’s nine prize categories pay for life. The remaining seven offer smaller fixed rewards.

Grand Prize

$1,000 a day for life

or $7,000,000 cash

Match 5 main numbers + the Grand Number

Odds 1 in 13,348,188 per play

Second Prize

$25,000 a year for life

or $500,000 cash

Match 5 main numbers, without the Grand Number

Odds 1 in 2,224,698 per play

Both for-life prizes are annuities guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years. If the winner dies inside that period, the balance of the guaranteed payments goes to their beneficiary or estate. The cash payout can be taken instead — the choice is final and cannot be reversed — and where more than one ticket wins that same for-life tier, the cash payout is the only option.

2

Pick your numbers

Choose five numbers from 1–49 and one Grand Number from 1–7, or let Quick Pick decide. Add Extra for more chances if you like.
