Comprehending the Lucky 4 Life Game

The highest reward is $1,000 per day for life if all six numbers are matched, while the second-tier prize is $25,000 per year for life if the five main numbers are matched without the Lucky Ball.

With a Lucky Ball of 3, the winning numbers in the drawing on November 14 were 5, 22, 30, 33, and 44.

The second-tier prize went to the lucky player who did not match the Lucky Ball but did match the five main numbers. Until the reward is claimed, the Kansas Lottery has not revealed the precise address where the winning ticket was sold.
