Last night’s Set For Life game did not produce a winner for the top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years. The National Lottery revealed the drawn numbers as 16, 22, 24, 32, and 38, with the life ball being 9. No participant managed to match all five numbers with or without the life ball in the Allwyn Entertainment game.
The odds of clinching the £10,000 monthly jackpot for three decades stand at approximately one in 15.3 million. For the second prize of £10,000 monthly for a year, the likelihood is about one in 1.7 million. Overall, the chances of winning any prize in Set For Life are one in 12.4.
Thirty-one individuals celebrated their luck by matching four numbers and the life ball, securing £250 each. Additionally, 247 people won £50 each by matching four numbers but missing the life ball.
A ticket for Set For Life costs £1.50, and the draws occur every Monday and Thursday at 8 pm. Over 168,000 players won prizes in the latest game, with 1,236 correctly guessing three numbers and the life ball, earning £30 each.
James Evans struck it rich with a lucky dip ticket, winning the £10,000 monthly jackpot for 30 years. Following his win in late 2020 at the age of 26, Mr. Evans transitioned from a life of block paving to becoming a ski instructor. He managed to clear his car loan, purchased a new computer, and bought his first home with a hot tub.
In addition to his personal gains, Mr. Evans ensured the financial security of his loved ones and made charitable donations close to his heart. The former landscaper expressed his shock at winning, mentioning that his demeanor was perceived as the calmest among winners contacting the National Lottery.
Mr. Evans shared how his newfound wealth allowed him to be more generous towards others, including providing financial assistance to his family members and supporting his father’s landscaping business. His ability to make a positive impact on his loved ones has been the most significant change in his life since winning the lottery.
