Set For Life launches with £10,000 a month for 30 years, March 2019
Monday 18 March 2019 · Set For Life
Set For Life was the first annuity lottery launched in the UK. Tickets went on sale on Friday 15 March 2019 and the first draw followed on Monday 18 March. A line cost £1.50, with draws every Monday and Thursday.
Players choose five numbers from 1 to 47 and a Life Ball from 1 to 10. All five plus the Life Ball pays £10,000 a month for 30 years, £3.6 million in total. Five numbers without the Life Ball pays £10,000 a month for one year.
Six more fixed prizes sit underneath, down to £5 for two main numbers. The chance of the top prize is 1 in 15,339,390.
Camelot backed the launch with a campaign across TV, radio, social media and shops, built around the line "Make every month amazing".
