The California Lottery has unveiled a new Scratchers game with a top prize of $20 million. It’s by far the largest ever for such a game in state history.
The “Set for Life Millionaire Edition” game won’t necessarily make the winner an instant millionaire, though, as the grand prize will be paid out over 25 years in annual $800,000 installments.
Nevertheless, it’s still the biggest winnings offered for a Scratchers game in California, surpassing the previous high by $10 million, according to a news release from the state Lottery.
There are four grand prizes of up to $20 million available, with the odds of winning placed at 1 in 3,019,380, the game’s website shows.
Set for Life tickets cost $30, which is also more than other Scratchers games currently available.
