The National Lottery is hunting for a missing winner who could be celebrating in style for years to come after having won the £10K-a-month-for-30-years top prize on the ‘Set For Life’ draw-based game. National Lottery players are now being urged to check and double-check their tickets for the chance to claim the life-changing prize.
The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, who matched the five main numbers and the Life Ball in the Set For Life draw on 5 June 2023. The winning Set For Life numbers on that date were 2, 5, 21, 34, 35 and the Life Ball was 6. The lucky ticket-holder has until 2 December 2023 to claim their prize.
Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said, “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life, and what a way it would be to enjoy this summer…and the next 30!
“Every single month for the next 30 years - that’s an incredible 360 months - will see the lucky winner banking £10,000, if only they would come forward! We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old Set For Life tickets again – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.
“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK. By playing any National Lottery game, players generate more than £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This money helps support everything from the local charity making a difference where you live through to helping our nations' athletes win medals at last summer’s Commonwealth Games. To date, over £47BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.
