The British public are being urged to try their hands on the new Camelot ‘Set for Life lottery game brought in last month to mark the Lottery’s mark the 25th birthday. The game is to be played every Monday and Thursday.
Camelot introduced Set For Life to offer a new type of game which would provide a guaranteed income rather than a one-off prize. Known as an annuity lottery, winners of the top prize will be paid a monthly prize over three decades. Monday’s winning numbers are: 11, 22, 26, 33, 47, and The Life Ball is: 06. Most players are used to the national lotteries traditional option of 6 numbers from 49 to win a major jackpot that runs into millions, which comes with the immediate joy of being stinking rich.
However, also has carries the risk of blowing the money in a short time like past lottery winners Michael Carroll and Callie Rogers did after winning large sums as teenagers
The experience of winning a huge jackpot can be very challenging, but with monthly payments of £10k, it guarantees a regular monthly payment without the added pressure that comes with the mind blowing prize of a massive jackpot. Both types of prizes have different appeals, but the Set For Life comes with a more measured reward in the form of a dream income for three decades.
MATCH
In order to win the top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years, players must match all five main numbers plus the ‘Life Ball’, but you can get the second prize of £10,000 every month for a year if you just match the five main numbers without the Life Ball. The chances of winning the top prize are an estimated 15,000, but this is much less than that of winning the main jackpot and its prizes produce better rewards across the spectrum of prizes.
Camelot is encouraging players to try the set for life, especially those who would normally not bother with the main jackpot because of its large odds.
A Camelot insider told The Eye Of media.Com: ”Set for Life produces amazing possibilities that can change the life of a winner and offer a consistent lifestyle of comfort for decades. You will also find that some people have increased luck with different aspects of the lottery in a way that will make some people more likely to win set for life than to win the jackpot. You have to be in it to win it”
To play Set For Life, you must select five main numbers from 1 to 47 plus one Life Ball from a separate set between 1 and 10. You can either choose your own numbers or opt for a Lucky Dip.
You are able to buy your tickets from authorised retailers or play online, with the option to enter up to four weeks in advance. You must get your entries in before ticket sales close on the night of the draw, tickets cost £1.50 per line
