They both mean the same.
It would depend on the context.
Our Lives is plural - so its meaning two different, separate lives.
Since we won the money our lives will be different.
Our life is singular: meaning one life. It can also be used for people in relationships
e.g Our life (together) will be different now we have a car

@dzaeklou thank you. I mostly understood the difference between them. But there’s only thing that I don’t understand. So let me ask you just one more time.
What does “(together)” mean in your second example sentence?
You meant I can say “Our life together will be different now we have a car.”as one sentence?
Or you just meant “our life” can be counted as one thing?
I hope my second question makes sense to you.😭
