A mystery woman from Berkshire, known only as Miss. H, has won £10,000 a month for one year after matching the five main numbers in the Set For Life draw late last month.

The winner plans to go on a family holiday with her winnings.

The lucky woman, who played a personal selection of sentimental numbers via the National Lottery website, has become one of more than nine million players that win each week on The National Lottery’s range of games.

Interactive winners have the opportunity to release their name, remain anonymous or like this winner, release some details through partial publicity.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said, “Wow, what incredible news for Miss. H, who won £10,000 every month for a year just a couple of days before Christmas!”

Set For Life is a draw-based game from The National Lottery. You pick five main numbers from 1 to 47, and one ‘Life Ball’ from 1 to 10, for the chance to win fixed prizes – with everything from the top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years, to the

2nd prize of £10,000 a month for one year and £5 for matching just two main numbers.

The Set For Life game costs £1.50 per line and is drawn every Monday and Thursday.

Playing any National Lottery game is more than just a chance to win; it’s a way to contribute to something much bigger! Each week, players help generate around £30 million for National Lottery-funded projects. With over 700,000 grants awarded to date, this funding touches every part of the UK.

From supporting the arts and sport sectors, to empowering local community groups and preserving iconic British landmarks, players’ participation makes a difference every single day.
