The short answer. Cash4Life drew for the last time on 21 February 2026.
Millionaire for Life started the next day. They are two different games, not one game renamed, which is
why the Cash4Life record stops on that date and does not continue.
Why this matters if you follow the results
When a game ends, a results site has two choices: stop the archive on the correct date, or quietly carry
on publishing under the old name. The second is easier and it is wrong. A reader checking an old ticket
needs the archive to end exactly where the game ended.
We found this the hard way. Our own checks flagged Cash4Life as stale because every source we read had
stopped updating it on the same day. The stale flag was correct and the conclusion was not "the sources
are broken" but "the game is over". The entry came out of our registry and Millionaire for Life went in.
What Millionaire for Life looks like
| Game | You pick | Drawn | Draw time (ET) |
|---|
| Millionaire for Life |
5 numbers from 1–60 + Mill Ball 1–5 |
Daily |
9:00 PM ET |
The format worth knowing is the bonus ball. The Mill Ball is drawn from a pool of only five numbers,
which is the smallest bonus pool of any game on this site. Powerball's is 26 and the Mega Ball's is 24;
five is a different order of thing entirely, and it is what shapes this game's prize structure.
It draws every night rather than a few times a week, so the archive builds quickly.

How to spot a results site that has not noticed
It is a useful test to run on any lottery site, including this one. Look for a game you know has changed
and check whether the archive ends where it should. If a page is still publishing fresh Cash4Life numbers
dated after February 2026, those numbers are coming from somewhere other than the New York Lottery.
Our own answer to the same question is on the
methodology page: where results come from, how they are checked before they
are published, and what happens when a source and a draw disagree.
