"Set for Life" can match another game on price and top prize and still pay out very differently. This game is a game that pays many small prizes and few large ones. Of its unclaimed prize money, about three-quarters is in wins under $2,500 and the rest is in bigger prizes. Neither kind is better, and each suits different players.
How far "Set for Life" is through its run does not decide anything by itself. It changes how closely to look at the other numbers.
Everything here about "Set for Life" comes from official California lottery numbers, current through October 18.
