Millionaire Life

Millionaire Life was a national promotional lottery game that offered a top prize of $1 million a year for 25 years, four prizes of $1 million and 20 prizes of $100,000. It has been run four times across Canada between 2007 and 2011.

The Millionaire Life promotional lottery game is administered by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, an alliance of the five regional (some provincial) lottery corporations that cover all of Canada.

The winning ticket was purchased by Jagtesh and Gurinder Grewal, both of Winnipeg, Manitoba. They split the lump sum payment of $17 million instead of the annuity of $1 million a year for 25 years because there was more than one person claiming the prize.

The winning ticket was purchased by a Burnaby, British Columbia woman, Angela Towle. She opted for the lump sum of $17 million.

The winning ticket was purchased by Faye Lepage of Edmonton, Alberta. She opted for the lump sum of $17 million instead of the annuity of $1 million a year for 25 years and will split the prize with her son, Troy Lepage. Faye LePage died on June 22 2011.

Millionaire Life ran from March 1 to 31, 2011, with the draw happening the night of March 31. The winning ticket was purchased in Quebec.

Millionaire Life will not be run in 2012.
