Set For Life Odds & Prize Draw Breakdown

To win a prize, you must match at least two main numbers. The more you match, the bigger your reward. All the awards are fixed amounts, but the top two prizes work differently to most lotteries as they are paid out as an annuity, meaning you receive regular payments over a longer period instead of just a single lump sum.

You must match all five main numbers plus the Life Ball to land the top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years, while you will receive £10,000 a month for one year if you win in the Match 5 category.
