LOTTERY officials are desperately hunting for a lucky player who has won $1,000 a week for the rest of their life.
The unknown winner could otherwise be in store for a whopping $1million prize after taking a crucial decision.

The unclaimed bucks are the winnings from the Cash4Life game, which is offered across ten different states and drawn each night.
The winning ticket was sold by a Casey’s convenience store in Cole Camp, Missouri, on January 28.
The player matched all five of the white ball numbers – which were 22, 40, 45, 54 and 60.
The special Cash Ball drawn was number one.
Cash4Life’s top prize is $1,000 every single day for the rest of the winner’s life.
The second-tier prize, won by this ticket, is $1,000 per week, minus taxes.
However, for this prize winners also have the option to take a one-off $1million prize.
Winners of this game have 180 days from the draw to claim their prize.
That means the elusive player in question can cash in their ticket anytime until July 27, 2025.
The Cash4Life numbers are drawn every night at 8pm.
It is offered in the following ten states: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.
Meanwhile, Powerball players have been urged to double check their tickets as one slip out there is worth $150,000.
The anonymous player in North Carolina struck gold as they came up trumps on the popular game of chance.
They bought their ticket at a Country Store in Hurdle Mills – located around 50 miles from the state capital Raleigh, per WNCN-TV.
The player matched four numbers and the Powerball, which would have normally seen them take home $50,000.
But, because they spent an extra dollar on the Power Play, their prize tripled.
Also, time is ticking for the lucky lottery player of an unclaimed Cash5 prize worth $100,000 before it expires.
Connecticut Lottery officials have issued a three-step warning to ensure this winner and future players secure their prize before the looming deadline.
The lucky player has until July 7, 2025, to come forward[/caption]
