Thanks, Toney. Then the article is incorrect since it says he got all 6 numbers and won $1,000 a week for a year, unless I'm crazy or can't read (or both.) This makes more sense to me now.

EDIT: Nope - now that I look at it - I didn't understand the game. There are 6 numbers plus a Free ball. If you get 5 winning numbers and the Free ball you get $52,000 which is $1,000 a week for one year. If you get the first 6 numbers, you win for Life. Although it doesn't make sense to me, this...

If he matched the 1st 6 numbers, then, yes he won a $1000 a week for life. If he matched the 1st 5 and the free ball, then that's a 2nd place win of $1000 a week for a year.

A Lawrenceville man is celebrating a lottery win after checking a ticket he purchased two months ago. Garth Cole, 46, matched all six winning numbers in the Oct. 24 Win for Life drawing and won $1,000 a week for a year.

Shouldn't this game be re-named Lucky for a year? Or is this a misprint and he will get $1,000 a week for Life? I never heard of a game that pays $1,000 a week for a year.
