Cash4Life is a lottery game that began in New York and New Jersey in June 2014. Currently, it is offered in five states; Cash4Life added Pennsylvania on April 7, 2015, Virginia on May 3, 2015, and Tennessee on November 1, 2015. (Maryland has also committed to offering the game; it is expected to join in early 2016).〔https://www.lotterypost.com/news/293289]]〕 Cash4Life is drawn Mondays and Thursdays.〔 (press release)〕 (An unrelated game known as ''Cash4Life'' was offered from 1998 to 2000; see below.) Each game costs $2. Players choose (or have the terminal select the numbers, which is known as "quick pick" in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee; and "easy pick" in Virginia) 5 of 60 numbers in the main field, and 1 of 4 (hence the game's name) green "Cash Ball" numbers in a second field. Matching all six numbers wins, or shares ("split-prize liability"), the equivalent of $1,000-per-day-for-life, or $7,000,000 cash, at the winner's option. Second prize, however, can have multiple winners of $1,000-per-week-for-life and/or $1,000,000 cash. (New Jersey Lottery regulations require that a player choose cash or annuity when playing; a "cash" ticket is binding, while an "annuity" ticket can be changed to cash after winning.)〔(Cash4Life Game Rules )〕 Virginia's entry in Cash4Life replaced ''Decades of Dollars'', which at most was offered by four lotteries; it ended as a Virginia-only game. ==Prizes== *Match 5+1: $1,000/day for life†° *Match 5+0: $1,000/week for life† *Match 4+1: $2,500† *Match 4+0: $500 *Match 3+1: $100 *Match 3+0: $25 *Match 2+1: $10 *Match 2+0: $4 *Match 1+1: $2 †The top three prize tiers each have a liability limit. If there are an excessive number of winners of a "lifetime" prize tier, such prizes will be paid in lump sum to each winner.〔 Cash option values (which can change periodically) are $7 million for the top prize, and $1 million for second prize. °The top prize is "split-prize liability"; in essence, a ''non-progressive'' jackpot. The prize pool is 55 percent of sales.〔(New Jersey Cash 4 Life Game Rules )〕 Cash4Life winnings are subject to state and Federal taxes, except for tickets sold in Pennsylvania to its residents; however, a bill introduced in May 2015 would tax Pennsylvania Lottery winnings of $600 or more regardless of residence. When Maryland joins Cash4Life in early 2016; it will bring Cash4Life membership to six contiguous states. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cash4Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
