Set For Life Results: Have You Won £10K A Month For 30 Years?

The first Set for Life draw of the week took place at 8pm on Monday, 01 September 2025. One winning ticket could now be worth £3.6 million (approximately $4.56 million) paid out as £10,000 per month over 30 years. The annuity-based structure remains unique among UK lottery games and continues to attract regular players.

Players enter by choosing five numbers from 1 to 47 and a Life Ball from 1 to 10. Each line costs £1.50, and the draw is held twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays. Participants may also opt for a Lucky Dip, where numbers are randomly selected.

How the Prize Structure Works

Unlike traditional lotteries offering a single lump sum, Set for Life distributes its top prize in monthly instalments. The top reward pays £10,000 every month for three decades. The second prize pays £10,000 every month for one year, totalling £120,000 (approximately $152,000).

This annuity format is the first of its kind introduced in the UK by The National Lottery. Its appeal lies in its structured and sustained payout, which allows winners to plan their financial future with more certainty. Over 30 years, the top prize equates to a total of £3.6 million (approximately $4.56 million).

Support for Winners

The operator of The National Lottery, Allwyn, has stated that winning tickets trigger a confidential process designed to support the winners. Once a winning ticket is confirmed, a dedicated team of winners' advisors is assigned. These professionals provide access to practical and emotional support services.

The process aims to ensure that the winner can manage their new circumstances without unnecessary stress or disruption. Services can include financial planning advice, mental health support, and assistance with major life changes such as employment and relocation. Each winner's privacy is strictly protected.

Latest Draw and What Happens Next

The winning numbers for the Monday draw have now been released. Anyone holding a ticket is encouraged to check the official results promptly to avoid missing out on a life-changing payout. Claims must be made within 180 days of the draw.

Should a player find they have matched all five numbers and the Life Ball, they will be contacted directly by the National Lottery once the claim is made and verified. If unclaimed, the prize is eventually transferred to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Players can check their tickets online, via the National Lottery app, or in-store at an authorised retailer. In addition to the main prize, thousands of smaller prizes are also distributed with each draw, based on the number of matched balls.

About Set for Life and Participation

Set for Life is a relatively recent addition to the UK's lottery offerings and has gained popularity due to its long-term payment model. It was designed to offer more than a one-time jackpot and instead provide consistent monthly income. The idea is to give winners the opportunity to change their lifestyle gradually while maintaining long-term financial stability.

Entry remains open to players aged 18 and over. The next draw will be held on Thursday, 04 September 2025. Entries can be made up to 7:30pm on the day of the draw.

Set for Life remains a fixture in the National Lottery calendar, drawing attention for its structured format and significant top prize. Monday's draw on 01 September will now become a key date for one or more lucky ticket holders.
