Gregory Snider's $1 Million Cash4Life Prize

Gregory Snider of Gambrills, Maryland won a Cash4Life second tier prize in the June 15, 2022 drawing.

Snider did not win Cash4Life's top prize.

The prize

Cash4Life's second tier offered $1,000 a week for life, with a cash option. Snider chose the $1 million cash option.

The Maryland Lottery's account identified Snider and his wife, Sarah Brown, and described the family's plans to use the money toward a larger home.

Why the terminology matters

“Jackpot” should be reserved for a game's top prize unless the official game uses the term differently. Calling every large secondary prize a jackpot can confuse readers about both the winner's result and the game's prize structure.

That is particularly important now because Cash4Life itself has been discontinued.

Cash4Life is now historical

The final Cash4Life drawing took place on February 21, 2026. Cash4Life tickets can no longer be bought. Questions about old Cash4Life ticket claims should be directed to the state lottery that sold the ticket.
