RETIRED DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL "STRIKES IT HOT" PLAYING CT LOTTERY'S NEWEST DRAW GAME LUCKY-4-LIFE
April 27, 2009
Retired Deputy Fire Marshal for the City of Stamford, Willie Baldwin, of the same town, is trained to inspect and interpret a variety of situations before taking action. So, it comes as no surprise that when Baldwin discovered he matched 4 of 5 numbers in the CT Lottery’s newest draw game, Lucky-4-Life on Thursday, April 23, he quickly put on his shoes and ran down the street to purchase a newspaper for further verification.
Flipping through the pages of the paper to locate the CT Lottery’s winning numbers, Baldwin saw that the "lucky" numbers he chose to play matched all but the Lucky Ball, and for that, he won $10,000. A stickler for details, Baldwin returned to Polonias Liquor Store located at 734 Pacific Street in Stamford where he purchased his ticket to inspect the Winning Numbers Report from the lottery terminal for Lucky-4-Life. It was “all good” after that, Baldwin told lottery officials with a cheery smile and a laugh.
The winning numbers drawn on that date were 10 - 17 - 27 - 28. The "Lucky Ball" was 04. A total of 14,251 winning Lucky-4-Life tickets were sold in that night’s drawing.
The day after the drawing, Baldwin arrived at Lottery Headquarters in Rocky Hill to receive a check for $7,000 (prize value after taxes). Baldwin plans to put his prize money to good use by paying for his mother’s trip to attend an out-of-state family reunion.
Lucky-4-Life is a $2 drawing game that offers eight prize levels including an exciting top prize of up to $2,000 a week for life. The game concept is modeled after the CT Lottery’s highly successful lottery scratch games Win for Life and Set for Life. Lucky top prize winners will receive a weekly prize payment of up to $2,000 for the rest of their life.
To play Lucky-4-Life, players pick four unique numbers ranging from 1 to 39. Next, a Lucky Ball number from 1 to 39 is chosen. Top prize winners must match all five numbers to claim the Top Prize - up to $2,000 a week for life, depending on the number of winning tickets sold for that level. The minimum top prize payment period is 20 years. The top prize is governed by “split-prize” liability, which means the top prize is divided equally among all top prize tickets. There are eight prize levels in all, with the minimum prize being $4 - twice the purchase price.
Lucky-4-Life drawings are held every Monday and Thursday nights at 10:35 p.m., and are broadcast live on Fox 61- WTIC and WTXX. Overall odds are 1 in 14.4. Odds of winning the “for life” top prize are approximately 1 in 3.2 million.
