Set for life draw results: Full list of the winning numbers
One ticket holder has struck it lucky after winning the Set for Life £10,000 a month for a year prize. The lottery draw was held last night and the winning numbers were 8, 10, 12, 28 and 45. The life ball number was 9. No one got all five numbers and the life ball, which would have seen them win £10,000 a year for 30 years. However, one holder matched five numbers, which means they win £10,000 a month for a year. It's not clear if the prize has been claimed. Set For Life is an annuity lottery, which means that its biggest prizes are paid out in regular instalments over an extended period of time, rather than in one lump sum. If you win the top prize you will receive regular payments into your bank account of £10,000 a month for the next 30 years. The second prize pays out £10,000 a month for 12 months. There is a prize fund cap of £16 million, which would require five players to match all the numbers. If this ever happens, each winner will be given the choice as to whether to receive their share of the £16 million as an annuity or a lump sum. If you enter as a syndicate, the National Lottery will only pay out the prize to a single claimant, so the syndicate would need to decide who is responsible for claiming the prize and how the annuity payments will be shared with other members of the syndicate. From time to time, the National Lottery holds Set For Life Super Chance draws. In these draws, you only have to match five main numbers to win the top prize of £10,000 for 30 years. This week mum-of-four Olivia Love, 36, shared what she does day-to-day after winning £10,000 a month for a year. The 36-year-old scooped her Set for Life prize in May and has since quit her supermarket job. More Trending Yesterday it was revealed the lucky EuroMillions winner who scooped £208,000,000 on Tuesday bought their ticket in County Cork. The prize – the largest in EuroMillions history – remained unclaimed for a couple of days but the winner has now made contact with the National Lottery, it was confirmed. The jackpot had been sat at £208million for two weeks after it reached its maximum size earlier this month. This will be Ireland's 18th winner of the EuroMillions jackpot.
