Set For Life Results & Winning Numbers

Set For Life Lottery: Set For Life Results & How to Play

If you are looking to give up your job, kick back and take it easy, then you may want to play the National Lottery Set for Life game by Camelot UK Lotteries Limited. On this page, we will look at how to play the Set for Life lottery, the latest Set for Life results, what prizes you can win and how to claim your prize.

How to Play Set for Life

In order to play Set for Life, you need to choose five numbers, ranging between 1 and 47 as well as one ‘Life Ball’, between 1 and 10. The Set for Life draws are held every Monday and Thursday evening - and you can buy tickets from one of the authorised retailers or online.

The cost to play Set for Life is £1.50 per line - but make sure you get in before the ticket sales close on the night of your draw. To buy your tickets, simply follow these steps:

  1. Select your 5 lottery numbers
  2. Decide how many lines you would like to play
  3. Choose how many draws you want to enter
  4. Wait for the Set for Life results to come in

The whole process is the same no matter whether you decide to buy your ticket online or buy them from one of the National Lottery’s authorised retailers. Just as with all lotteries, you can either choose your own lucky numbers or opt for a Lucky Dip and have randomly selected numbers allotted to you.

The Life Ball will be drawn from a different set of balls, so it is possible that it will be the same number as one of the main lottery balls.

You can choose to enter your same numbers into numerous Set for Life lottery draws - and you can buy tickets up to four weeks in advance. When the draw has been completed, you will be able to find the Set for Life results today right here on our page, as well as all recent Set for Life lottery results.

How to Win

In order to win a cash prize, you will need to match two or more of the lottery numbers. All prizes are fixed amounts, with the lowest prize being £5 - and the value going up depending on how many numbers you match. Should you match all five of the main lotto numbers as well as the Life Ball, you can win £10,000 every month for 30 years.

How to Claim Your Prize

This depends on how and where you bought the ticket. If it was bought at a land-based retailer you can claim prizes up to £5000 at any authorised retailer. If it was bought on the website then prizes up to £500 will be credited straight into your account.

For prizes larger than this then you need to contact the National Lottery Commission directly and start a claims process. 

The Odds of Winning a Set for Life Prize

This game stands out from the rest because it is the only one that offers a prize paid out over the long term, rather than just one huge lump sum payment. Also, unlike other lotteries, the top prize won’t be shared, which means that more than one player could win £10,000 per month for 30 years on the same draw.

Lottery Odds and Prize Breakdown

Every Set for Life prize is a fixed amount - so, no matter how many play, you are guaranteed to win the prize as advertised (unless there are prize caps). In the table below, you will be able to see the Set for Life breakdown and your odds of winning the prize.

You have a 1 in 12.4 chance of winning a prize.

There are also Super Chance draws, where you could win £10,000 every month for 30 years just for matching 5 numbers without getting the Life Ball. When they are running these special events, this prize replaces the second prize- and you still win that same prize if you also match the Life Ball as well.

Set for Life Draws Prize Capping

As we touched upon earlier, prices might be capped. This will happen if there is an extraordinarily high number of winning players. This is the only instance in which you will win an amount lower than that advertised. Prize caps depend on how many balls you matched and your winning level:

1: If You Match 5 and the Life Ball

In all of the Set for Life draws, there is a maximum of £16 million which is set aside to pay out the winners of the main prize. Normally, a winner would win £3.6 million spread out over the 30 years. This means that they will only pay out the advertised prize if there are no more than 4 winners. More than this and there will be a prize cap put in place.

If there are 5 or more big winners in the same draw then the £16 million will be split equally between all winners. They can then choose whether they want to take the money as one lump sum or have it paid out as an annuity. This would still be paid out over the full term but would be lower than £10,000 a month.

Matching 5 Balls

For the second prize, the fund is capped at £2 million per draw. In normal circumstances, a player would receive a total of £120,000 over the year. As such, 16 people could win without the prize cap being implemented.

For more than this, the 2 million is split equally between all of the winners. The win will still be paid out over one year, but less than £10,000 per month.

Match 2, 3 or 4 Balls plus the Life Ball

For all but the two main prizes, the total prize fund amounts to 35.94% of the money received from total ticket sales plus an additional £1 million. If there isn’t enough to pay all of the winners in the other winning categories then the prize will be divided in increments depending on their win level. This will be worked out and calculated before the prizes are paid out.

How the Set for Life Lottery’s Annuity Prize Works

The money that is being used to fund the regular monthly payment will be held by Camelot until the winning ticket or tickets have been validated. The annuity will then be set up and then the payments will be managed by a third party.

The Annuity Policy

Camelot is required to pay the prize funds in an investment policy which has been designed to yield the required sums of money at set periods over the life of the annuity. The policy is managed by a 3rd party broker. They will then ensure that all of the payments will be made in full and on time. So, after the ticket is validated and the annuity is set up, you will need to deal with the broker.

However, The National Lottery will guide you every step of the way, although it will recommend that you seek out the help of a financial advisor to assist you and help manage the whole process.

How the Policy is Set Up

If you are lucky enough to claim one of the top two prizes of the Set for Life lottery, then you will need to attend a validation meeting, which will include setting up your new annuity policy.

You will meet with a representative of the National Lottery who will then validate your winning ticket. You will both be joined by the broker from the annuity provider who will set up your policy. There will be forms to fill in and signatures required - including a filled-in National Lottery prize claim form.

When all of this is done, all of the steps to set up the regular payments will be set up. It should take no longer than four weeks to complete.

Getting Your Prize Money

Your first payment should be received not long after you have attended the validation meeting and all of the checks have been completed. You will get the money either by bank transfer or cheque.

The rest of the payments will be made on a monthly basis thereafter, for the term of your annuity. You will receive confirmation of payment dates either during or after your validation meeting. If you die before the prize is fully paid, then the rest of the balance will be paid out as a lump sum to your estate.

Set for Life Results

Here, you will be able to find all the latest Set for Life numbers. So check back to see if you have won £10,000 every month for the next 30 years.
