A Somerset resident has struck it lucky as the latest National Lottery Set for Life winner. The retired Sergeant Major, identified only as “Mr. P,” secured £10,000 a month for a year by matching the five main numbers in the January 23 draw. He joins more than nine million weekly winners across the National Lottery’s diverse games.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the National Lottery’s operator, celebrated the win: “What a fantastic start for Mr. P, landing £10,000 monthly for a full year. Big congratulations to him!”
Set for Life, a popular draw-based game, lets players select five numbers from 1 to 47 and one “Life Ball” from 1 to 10. At £1.50 per line, it offers fixed prizes—including a top award of £10,000 a month for 30 years, a second-tier prize of £10,000 a month for a year, and £5 for just two main numbers. Draws occur every Monday and Thursday. Winners like Mr. P can choose full anonymity, publicity, or partial disclosure, as he did. Tickets are available at retail stores, online at national-lottery.co.uk, or via the National Lottery app.
Online players benefit from automatic ticket checks and email alerts for wins, while the app also allows scanning of physical tickets to confirm prizes.
Adding to the excitement, Set for Life has introduced a new “Set For 5 Years” Scratchcard, now in stores for £2. This annuity-style game offers a top prize of £5,000 a month for five years, complementing the traditional draw format.
Beyond the thrill of winning, every National Lottery game supports good causes. Players contribute roughly £30 million weekly to fund over 700,000 grants for UK projects, from arts and sports initiatives to community efforts and the preservation of historic landmarks, making a tangible impact nationwide.
