See the latest confirmed top-prize winner status, then explore Set For Life winner history and winning-ticket statistics from every draw since the game began in March 2019.
The latest confirmed Set For Life draw had no winner of the £10,000-a-month-for-30-years top prize. This remains the current winner result until a newer Set For Life draw is recorded.
The figures below count winning tickets across all published prize tiers. They are not a count of unique people: one draw can contain well over 100,000 winning lines, even when nobody wins the top prize.
Choose a year to compare draw volume and the total number of winning tickets. Full calendar years are the fairest comparisons because Set For Life launched part-way through 2019 and the current year is still in progress.
Year to date through 20 August 2026. The figures update as newer confirmed draws enter the archive.
The top prize is not guaranteed to be won in every draw. The timeline below highlights recent confirmed draws in which at least one ticket matched all five main numbers plus the Life Ball.
Set For Life launched on 18 March 2019. The first draw to produce a Match 5 + Life Ball winning ticket came on Thursday 6 June 2019 — draw 24 — when one ticket matched 7, 12, 20, 25 and 36 plus Life Ball 2. It took less than three months for the new £10,000-a-month-for-30-years prize to be won.
A Set For Life winner does not have to match all six balls. Matching just two main numbers is enough for the lowest fixed prize, while the two highest tiers pay monthly prizes.
| Match | Standard prize | Odds per line |
|---|---|---|
| 5 + Life Ball | £10,000 a month for 30 years | 1 in 15,339,390 |
| 5 | £10,000 a month for 1 year | 1 in 1,704,377 |
| 4 + Life Ball | £250 | 1 in 73,045 |
| 4 | £50 | 1 in 8,116 |
| 3 + Life Ball | £30 | 1 in 1,782 |
| 3 | £20 | 1 in 198 |
| 2 + Life Ball | £10 | 1 in 134 |
| 2 | £5 | 1 in 15 |
Yes. More than one ticket can match all five main numbers and the Life Ball in the same draw. Set For Life is not a conventional rolling jackpot that simply gets divided between winners; the game has specific rules for its monthly prizes and for circumstances where prize caps apply.
The majority of winning tickets are in the lower fixed-prize tiers. A draw can therefore record 150,000 or more winning tickets while still recording zero winners of the headline £10,000-a-month prize.
No. Each valid line in a new draw faces the same top-prize odds of 1 in 15,339,390. A run of recent winners — or a long gap without one — does not change the probability of a particular line in the next draw.
No. Published winner stories are only a subset of prize winners. The draw-level prize breakdown is the useful measure when you want to know how many winning tickets there were, rather than relying on the number of people who appear in publicity stories.
Winner counts answer one question. If you want the actual balls, a historical draw or to test your own numbers, use the dedicated Set For Life pages below.
The latest confirmed top-prize winner status is shown at the top of this page. It remains in place until a newer Set For Life draw is recorded. Once a new draw appears, the page moves to that draw and updates the winner counts when its prize breakdown is confirmed.
Yes. The first Set For Life top-prize winning draw was Thursday 6 June 2019, less than three months after the game launched, and many later draws have also produced Match 5 + Life Ball winning tickets.
It varies significantly. The top two tiers may have no winners at all, while the lower fixed-prize tiers can push the total winning-ticket count well above 100,000. The annual statistics on this page combine all published prize tiers.
Yes. More than one valid ticket can match the top-prize combination in the same draw. Multiple tickets can also win any of the other seven prize tiers.
Prize breakdowns report winning entries or tickets by tier. That is not necessarily the same as a count of unique individuals, so “winning tickets” is the more precise description for historical totals.
Use the Set For Life Results page for the latest winning numbers, or the Results Checker if you want to enter your own five main numbers and Life Ball and compare them with current or historical draws.
Data note: historical annual totals are refreshed from the Set For Life draw archive when complete winner totals are available. The recent top-prize timeline is stricter: a draw appears there only when its historical record explicitly contains a confirmed top-prize winner count. Totals refer to winning tickets across all prize tiers, not unique people. For a prize claim, always verify your ticket against the official National Lottery result. Official Set For Life results →
