West Virginia Lottery introduces Millionaire for Life™ as a new national draw option

West Virginians got a fresh way to play when Millionaire for Life™ launched on February 22, 2026. This new national draw game offers daily drawings and a top prize of $1,000,000 a year for life.

The West Virginia Lottery is bringing this option to players across the Mountain State, adding another choice to the lineup of new draw games already available. With seven drawings each week, there’s an opportunity to participate every single day.

What Millionaire for Life™ offers

The game features two life-changing top prizes:

• Grand Prize: $1,000,000 a year for life 
• Second Prize: $100,000 a year for life 

If you’re already playing POWERBALL©, MEGA MILLIONS®, or Lotto America©, the format will feel familiar, but the potential outcomes are very different. 

You’ll be able to play Millionaire for Life™ both in-store at licensed retailers and online through iPLAY. 

Seven days a week

What sets Millionaire for Life™ apart from the other popular draw games available at WVL? Daily drawings. While POWERBALL© draws happen three times a week and MEGA MILLIONS® twice weekly, Millionaire for Life™ gives you a chance every day of the week.

How you can play

Millionaire for Life™ tickets are available at West Virginia Lottery retailers throughout the state. The game launched on iPLAY at the same time, so you can purchase tickets through the app or website.

If you’re an iPLAY user, you’re able to set up Auto-Renewal for Millionaire for Life™ just like you can for other draw games. Prefer to jump in when prizes hit a certain level? Jackpot Threshold Auto Renewal will be available, too.

Adding to what’s already here

Millionaire for Life™ joins the current lineup of draw games West Virginians already play. The state lottery offers big multi-state games – POWERBALL©, MEGA MILLIONS®, and Lotto America© – plus state draws like Daily 3, Daily 4, and Cash25.

Different games work for different preferences. You might want to try your chances on the massive jackpots, or you might prefer daily state draws with smaller but the potential for more regular prizes. This new game sits somewhere in between – a daily national draw with a top prize that could change your life.

What’s next
