What is Cash4Life?
Cash4Life is a lottery which takes place in New York every day, seven days a week, at 21:00 EST (03:00 CET / 02:00 GMT). Tickets for this lottery are offered in nine states in the United States, which means that it is a multi-state lottery. You can place your bets on Cash4Life even if you’re not a US resident, and you will still be in the chance of winning the same prizes.
When did Cash4Life start?
This lottery is only a few years old. Cash4Life tickets started being sold on June 13, 2014 in New Jersey and New York, and the first draw took place just 3 days later. Since then, drawings started taking place every night, awarding 15 top prizes and 22 second tier prizes.
