Set for Life is a unique lottery that pays winners of its jackpot prizes on a monthly income bases. This is known as an annuity. Since its inception, it has become one of the biggest lotto games in the UK. It also has a lot of players in Australia. If you want a lottery that gives you a chance to be set for life with monthly payments of £10,000 for the next 30 years, then this is the game to play.

Set for Life consists of five main numbered balls with a number set of 1-47. It also has a “bonus” ball known as the Life Ball, which has a different set of number 1-10.

Set for Life was established on March 15, 2019. It was created by the National Lottery as an alternative to the popular UK lotteries that gave winners one time payment of their jackpot prizes. By offering a guaranteed monthly income, it ensured that winners of the draw are financially set for life and don’t have to worry about wasting all their lottery winnings.

Like all lotteries, winning the jackpot is quite an uphill task because the odds are quite monumental. But like the old saying goes, you can’t win if you don’t play.
