A HUGE hunt is underway to find a lucky player who has won £10,000 a month in the National Lottery’s Set For Life game.
They will be paid the huge sum every month for the next 30 years if they step forward.
Players of the Set For Life draw-based game have been urged to check their tickets, and should call the National Lottery if they have the winning numbers.
The winning ticket matched the five main numbers – 11, 15, 26, 33, 44 – and the Life Ball number 10 in the draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “What an incredible night for Set For Life players, as we have another top prize winner.
