In an unexpected twist of fate, a lucky lottery player is sitting on a potential fortune of £3.6 million, but time is quickly running out. The National Lottery is urging the holder of a winning Set For Life ticket to step forward and claim their prize by April 22, 2025, otherwise, this life-changing amount will vanish into thin air.
The winning ticket was drawn on October 24, 2024, and secured its holder a staggering amount of £10,000 per month for three decades. This extraordinary payout can make a huge difference in someone's life, transforming their financial landscape in unimaginable ways.
Purchased for just £1.50 in the Sevenoaks District, this ticket features the winning numbers: 2, 11, 29, 37, 45, along with the Life Ball number 6. It’s a reminder of the good luck that can accompany a simple decision to play the lottery.
However, potential winners should not get overly comfortable. If the ticket holder fails to claim their prize by the looming deadline, any unclaimed money, including interest accrued, will be redirected to support National Lottery Projects across the UK. "If no prize winner comes forward to claim their winnings by the deadline, 22 April, the money and any interest earned on it will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK," the lottery officials stated.
The National Lottery’s Set For Life draw takes place twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. During these exciting events, players must select five numbers plus a Life Ball. The jackpot requires matching all five numbers as well as the Life Ball, but there are multiple other monetary prizes as well, including £10,000 monthly for a year totaling up to £120,000!
Interestingly, the odds of winning the main Set For Life jackpot are dauntingly low—approximately one in 15.3 million. For the second prize, the chances stand at one in 1.7 million. Nevertheless, players are always optimistic when it comes to trying their luck! For anyone fortunate enough to have played in recent draws like the one on March 20, 2025, here are the latest winning numbers: 1, 15, 16, 22, 35, with a Life Ball number of 4.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to all of tonight's winners, no matter how little nor large!" echoed the National Lottery representatives. With anticipation stirring with every new draw, it always remains a tantalizing thought—what would you do if you found yourself in the winner's circle?
To assist those unsure of how to claim their prizes, the National Lottery provides a wealth of information on its website, detailing the steps winners need to take. Unsurprisingly, unclaimed lottery prizes are a recurrent theme, as evidenced by another notable unclaimed EuroMillions winner of £321,840.60 currently displayed on the National Lottery website.
As the chance to become a millionaire from merely a ticket draws near the deadline, the excitement builds. Citizens across the UK are encouraged to check their lottery tickets and not miss out on the extraordinary opportunity that comes with each draw.
Overall, the chance of winning even a fraction of these amounts can spark dreams and change lives. So, dig deep, check those numbers, and perhaps, just perhaps, someone will soon hear the delightful words, "You are a winner!"
