To start playing the Millionaire for Life lottery, follow these steps below to enter a draw:
- Select which five main numbers you want to enter, these are between 1 and 58.
- Choose your pick for the Millionaire ball, from 1 to 5.
- Decide whether you would like to play in a single draw or a multi-draw play. This can be done by checking the corresponding box on your physical ticket, or selecting the option if purchasing electronically.
