New Set For Life Winners Share Number‑Picking Tactics as Unclaimed Jackpots Mount

Profiles of a Norwich grandfather and a West Dunbartonshire homemaker highlight different paths to the £10,000‑a‑month payout, with Allwyn urging ticket checks.

Overview

  • A Norwich grandfather won Set For Life on his third try using self‑selected numbers, calling the result surreal and planning to cut work hours to spend more time with family.
  • An anonymous West Dunbartonshire homemaker says a spreadsheet generating random numbers led to a Set For Life win within four months, and she has booked a trip to the US.
  • Set For Life pays £10,000 each month for a year, totaling £120,000 for winners who match the required numbers.
  • Allwyn senior winners’ adviser Andy Carter congratulated the winners and praised the timing for the new grandparent eager to treat a grandchild.
  • Unclaimed prizes remain significant, with the National Lottery listing six large wins yet to be claimed, including a roughly £10 million Lotto ticket bought in Bexley with an early April deadline and a West Dorset Set For Life prize from October; separate reports put the broader unclaimed total at more than £14 million.
