Winner of $1,000 a Day for Life Prize Still Unknown;
New Opportunity to Win Tonight!
It's the ticket of a lifetime, and the Kansas Lottery is excited
to see who will come forward to claim it! So far, no one has.
One Lucky for Life ticket sold in northeast Kansas matched all
numbers in the June 25 drawing to win the grand prize of $1,000 a
Day for Life.
This is the first $1,000 a Day for Life grand prize a Kansas
Lottery player has won since Kansas joined the Lucky for
Life game in November 2016. The ticket was sold in northeast
Kansas and matched these winning numbers:
3-31-42-45-48 Lucky Ball 17
Whoever claims the winning ticket will have 60 days from the
claim date to choose how he or she wants to be paid. Here are the
options:
Annuity: If choosing the annuity prize,
the winner can either receive payments of $7,000 a week or $365,000
a year, minus taxes. The payments would continue for the
winner's natural life (minimum of 20 years).
Cash: If the winner chooses to receive a
one-time cash payment, the prize would be $5.75 million, minus
taxes. After federal taxes of 25% and state taxes of 5% are
withheld, the winner would receive a one-time payment of $4.025
million.
Kansas Lottery players have a chance tonight to win a Lucky for
Life grand prize of their own! Lucky for Life drawings are
conducted every Monday and Thursday. Players have until 7:59 p.m.
on draw days to purchase tickets. Players pick five numbers from 1
to 48 and one Lucky Ball number from 1 to 18. If they wish, players
can let the computer pick their numbers (Quick Pick). Plays cost $2
each.
In addition to the grand prize, there are nine other
prizes available in Lucky for Life, including a prize that pays
$25,000 a Year for Life. Two Kansans, Darryl Hestand of Olathe and
Arden Unruh of Haysville, both won $25,000 a Year for Life in
2017.
Players are invited to submit all their winning and non-winning
tickets in the Kansas Lottery PlayOn® Players Loyalty
program to earn points for drawing entries and a chance to win cash
and other prizes!
