Set For Life Draw: Winning Numbers and £1.49 Million in Prizes Handed Out

Sometimes chasing a dream lottery win is about more than luck—it's about a shot at financial comfort for decades. On Thursday, January 23, 2025, the National Lottery’s Set For Life draw delivered its 612th round, promising the hugely sought-after prize of £10,000 every month for the next 30 years. This time, however, no ticket holder managed to capture that elusive top prize. The numbers called were 11, 21, 22, 32, and 45, with 06 as the Life Ball.

Even though no one matched all five numbers plus the Life Ball this round, plenty of players were still rewarded for their efforts. Two lucky people got close—matching the five main numbers but missing the Life Ball. Each of them walked away with £10,000 every month, but just for a year, not three decades. That’s still a win to celebrate, as it adds up to £120,000 per winner over 12 months.

Other wins got spread across the country. Twenty-five players matched four numbers and the Life Ball, pocketing £250 each—enough for a cheeky getaway or to pay off some bills. Meanwhile, the draw saw 304 people matching four main numbers (but no Life Ball), each getting £50. Those smaller wins kept building up across several prize tiers—and, as always, made a lot of nights a bit more exciting.

Breakdown by the Numbers: Who Won What?

This round, more than 187,000 players claimed a prize. Here’s how the payouts stacked up:

• Match 5 + Life Ball: 0 winners (£10k per month for 30 years jackpot still up for grabs)
• Match 5: 2 winners, landing £10,000 each month for a year each (totaling £240,000)
• Match 4 + Life Ball: 25 winners, each banking £250
• Match 4: 304 winners, each with £50
• Match 3 + Life Ball: 1,295 winners, snagging £30 each
• Match 3: 11,727 winners, earning £20 apiece
• Match 2 + Life Ball: 17,820 winners, each getting £10
• Match 2: 156,400 winners, receiving £5 each

All together, £1,495,040 in prizes was paid out for this single draw, delivered across every region and postcode. The overwhelming bulk of wins went to those matching just two numbers, but every prize—from that crisp £5 note to the monthly windfall—represents stories of hope and plenty of daydreams about what could be.

The evening’s draw was carried out with the Excalibur 5 machine and ball set SFL7, which some regulars keep an eye on for their own superstitions. Despite the £10k-per-month-for-life jackpot slipping through players’ fingers again, there’s always another chance: the next Set For Life draw lands on Monday, January 27. Until then, players are urged to check their tickets, claim those smaller wins, and—importantly—know their limits when it comes to playing.
