Who wants to be a millionaire… every year, for life? ?

A brand-new multi-state lottery game called Millionaire for Life is rolling into New Jersey and 30 other states, and it’s bringing some seriously big excitement with it. This daily game gives players a shot at $1 million a year for life — yes, every single year.
