How to Play Cash4Life
Cash4Life may have a more unusual way of paying out its winners, but it’s as quick and simple to play as any other lottery in Virginia. All you have to do is select a total of six numbers and you're ready to go.
Draws take place every night, so start playing today by visiting a local Virginia Lottery retailer or by purchasing your ticket online. Here's a more in-depth guide on how to play Cash4Life:
Choose Your Numbers
On your playslip, choose five main numbers between 1 and 60 and a Cash Ball number between 1 and 4. If you know what numbers you want to choose then great! If not, we've got you covered with our Number Generator. If you want to play multiple sets of numbers then you can choose one of five different play areas marked on your slip, labelled - Game A, B, C, D and E.
Purchase Your Tickets
With your numbers decided, you're now ready to purchase your ticket. Players in Virginia can play locally, but it’s also easy to play online. You will have to purchase your ticket before 8:45 PM ET as draws are held at 9:00 PM every night.
If you purchase your ticket in-store, make sure to keep it safe - you will have to use this as proof when claiming your prize. Purchasing a ticket online means this ticket is secured safely for you. Tickets cost $2 per play and you can choose to purchase tickets for consecutive draws.
Consecutive Draws
With draws taking place every day, you have the option to purchase tickets for multiple upcoming draws. A Multi-Draw ticket will allow you to play up to 26 consecutive draws on one ticket.
You can also ‘Repeat your play’ if you have a special set of numbers you like to pick every draw. This allows you to instantly select those same numbers on more than one ticket up to 20 times.
How to Win Cash4Life
There are eight total ways to win prizes in Cash4Life. The amount you win will depend on how many numbers you match. You go from matching just one plus the Cash Ball, which wins you the lowest prize, to matching all six numbers to win the jackpot. View all the Odds and Prizes in Cash4Life here.
