As with 6/42, at least three of one's chosen numbers must appear among the six winning numbers to win a prize.

Win for Life replaced Lotto South in 2006. It was offered in Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia; it was a 6-of-42 game that drew a seventh number (the "Free Ball") for lower-tier prizes. Top prize was $1,000-a-week-for-life; there was never a gamewide "cash option", unlike the current Cash4Life (although Virginia offered it when the game began.)
