How to play Lucky for Life
Just like any multi-number game, Lucky for Life is a very easy game to play. Two sample panels from a Lucky for Life playslip
are shown here; the actual playslip contains 5 panels.
Select 5 numbers from 1 through 40 on the upper section and one number from 1 through 21 on the lower section. Alternatively,
you can mark the Quick Pick (QP) (also labeled as Easy Pick (EP) in some states) to let the Lottery terminal randomly select your
numbers for you. If you want to play more numbers, then fill out panels B, C, etc. Each one costs $2.
If you make an error, DO NOT ERASE, instead mark the Void box (if there is one) for that play, or just discard the playslip.
A typical winning number is reported as, 01-02-06-10-19 LB 15, or as 01-02-06-10-19**15 Since the
order in which the numbers are drawn in the first set doesn't matter, the winning numbers are reported in their natural order
from smallest to highest.
