What Time Is the Set for Life Draw?

The Set for Life draw takes place every Monday and Thursday evening at around 8pm. Ticket sales close at 7:30pm on draw nights, so you need to buy before then to be entered into that evening’s draw.

Set for Life draw days and time

Set for Life is drawn twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, at around 8pm. Unlike Lotto or EuroMillions there’s no big televised moment — the draw is conducted and verified behind the scenes, and the winning numbers are then published the same evening.

What time do ticket sales close?

The cut-off is 7:30pm on draw days, in shops and online alike. Buy a ticket after 7:30pm on a Monday or Thursday and it goes into the next draw rather than that night’s. On non-draw days you can buy at any time, and sales reopen shortly after each draw.

When do the results appear?

The winning numbers — five main numbers plus the Life Ball — are published on the official site and app shortly after the draw, so you can usually check your ticket the same evening. The top prize is £10,000 every month for 30 years.

Never miss a draw

If you don’t want to watch the clock, advance play lets one ticket cover up to four weeks of draws, and a Direct Debit enters your numbers automatically every week. Both follow the same 7:30pm processing deadline behind the scenes.
