5 different main numbers from 1–47 and 1 Life Ball from 1–10.

Matching all five main numbers plus the Life Ball wins the standard top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years: 360 scheduled payments, totalling £3.6 million in nominal payments over the full term. Matching all five main numbers without the Life Ball wins the second-tier standard prize of £10,000 a month for one year. Prize capping and payment exceptions are governed by the official rules; the advertised £3.6 million is not an immediate cash lump sum.
There are 1,533,939 ways to choose five different numbers from 47. With ten possible Life Balls, that gives 15,339,390 complete combinations. One valid line has a 1 in 15,339,390 chance of matching all five main numbers and the Life Ball in one draw. The chance of winning any of the eight standard prize tiers is approximately 1 in 12.4 per line.
A Set For Life line costs £1.50 for each draw entered. Regular draws take place every Monday and Thursday. Choosing more distinct lines covers more combinations but also increases the amount spent; no particular number-selection method improves the odds attached to a valid line.
