A mystery lottery winner has scooped a Set For Life jackpot which will see them handed £10,000 a month for the next 30 years.

The lucky ticketholder will receive £3.6 million over the coming three decades, after matching all five Set For Life numbers and the Life Ball.

The National Lottery is urging players to check their tickets from Monday.

The winning numbers were 01, 13, 17, 37 and 44, while the bonus Life Ball was 04.

No-one scooped the second biggest prize by matching all five Set For Life numbers minus the bonus ball.

But 37 people matched four Set For Life numbers plus the Life Ball to receive £250 each, and 248 players matched four numbers minus the Life Ball to win £50 each.

Senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, Andy Carter said: ‘Wow, we have a top prize winner on Set For Life – they can now celebrate winning £10,000 every month for 30 years.

‘Players are being urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s fantastic Set For Life top prize.’

Mr Carter, from Camelot, added: ‘Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £30 million is generated every week for good causes across the country.

‘This supports everything from local projects making a difference where you live, to our nations’ athletes at the recent Commonwealth Games.’
