One lucky ticketholder has won £10,000 a month for the next 30 years after scooping the top prize in the Set For Life lottery draw.

The National Lottery is urging players to check their tickets after one person matched all five Set For Life numbers and the Life Ball to receive £3.6 million over three decades.

On Monday, the winning Set For Life numbers were revealed as 01, 13, 17, 37, 44 and the bonus Life Ball was 04.

No-one matched all five Set For Life numbers minus the bonus ball for the second biggest prize.

However, 37 people matched four Set For Life numbers plus the Life Ball to receive £250 each, and 248 players matched four numbers minus the Life Ball to win £50 each.

Senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, Andy Carter, urged players to check their tickets.

Camelot’s Mr Carter said: “Wow, we have a top prize winner on Set For Life – they can now celebrate winning £10,000 every month for 30 years.

“Players are being urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s fantastic Set For Life top prize.

“Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30 million is generated every week for good causes across the country.

“This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations’ athletes at the recent Commonwealth Games.”
