Donald Magett in 1984 won a "Cash for Life" game, guaranteeing him $1000 a month before taxes until his death.
Bankruptcy trustee Tom Richardson has been receiving that money to pay Magett's debts.
But now Richardson has received a judge's approval to put the prize up for auction online which ends at 8.30pm on Thursday local time (1.30am Friday GMT).
But the opening bid is $30,000, which means Magett, 73, would need to live a few more years for the winner to break even.
Richardson says the winner is definitely taking a gamble.
