Lucky for Life

The South Dakota Lottery's latest big winner will ring in the new year with the prize of $1,000 a day for the rest of his or her life.

Monday's Lucky For Life drawing resulted in South Dakota's first top prize winner in the game. The ticket was sold at Ken's Fairway, located at 2105 6th Ave., SE in Aberdeen. The winning numbers were 4, 10, 15, 19, and 43, with Lucky Ball number 8.

Monday's top prize winner will receive the option of $1,000 a day for the rest of his or her life or a one-time payment of approximately $5.7 million.

If you are Monday's winner, the South Dakota Lottery advises you to seek assistance from a financial advisor and sign the back of the ticket immediately. If you have questions, contact the South Dakota Lottery's Pierre office at 605-773-5770.

While Monday's drawing featured the South Dakota Lottery's first top prize winner in Lucky For Life, the Mount Rushmore State has also been home to a pair of second-prize winners since the game's sales began in South Dakota on June 5, 2017.

Lucky For Life is offered in 23 states plus the District of Columbia, and drawings take place each Monday and Thursday night. Lucky for Life winning numbers are published at Lottery Post's Lottery Results page within minutes of each drawing.

Thanks to zephbe for the tip.

I Agree! Congratulations to whoever won! 

 Choosing the Lump Sum Cash may be determined by age and health. Among other factors.

Wow, a grand a day or a lump sum. Either way he or she is in the driver's seat. On a side note: While picking up my tickets for tonight's drawing, l saw no long lines clambering for a $400 mil jackpot. I wonder why that is?

Maybe many people, like myself had off today and purchased their MM tickets on Monday.
