National Lottery launched its twice-a-week Set for Life draw in March 2019, offering players the chance to win £10,000 every month for 30 years.
It sounds simple enough to win, you must pick the correct five numbers from 1 to 47 plus a Life Ball number between 1-10. If your picks match the numbers drawn, you win £10,000 every month for 30 years.

How many National Lottery Set for Life winners have there been?
As of Friday December 9, 2022, there have been 57 winners of the Set for Life top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years, lottery operator Camelot told ChronicleLive.
Among them was Laura Hoyle, who won the top prize during lockdown in March 2021.
Many more have won the second prize. Since March 2019, 474 Set for Life players have claimed £10,000 every month for a year.
Winners have included Sam Gray from Whitley Bay, who correctly guessed the numbers in May 2022.
Speaking in June, she said: "Normally I would just go in and play three lucky dips every couple of weeks, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to play a line of numbers that I had had saved in my account for a couple of years and just hadn't used, and those were the numbers that won.
"They were just random, random numbers - it was slightly fate I think."
There are smaller prizes for matching fewer numbers too. Four numbers plus the Life Ball wins a £250 prize, and those who correctly guess four numbers without a Life Ball can take home £50.
Two numbers and the Life Ball wins £10, while just two numbers without the Life Ball nets a £5 prize.
