Two Dads in Greater Manchester Strike Lucky with Set For Life
Two fathers from Greater Manchester have recently stepped into a whole new chapter of life after scooping life-changing wins on the National Lottery’s Set For Life game. Both dads, who wish to remain unnamed, found themselves holding the golden tickets that now guarantee them a steady stream of income every month—£10,000, to be exact.
The first win came in late May, when one dad of two decided to try his luck with a Lucky Dip. That small flutter ended up transforming his future. Instead of rushing out with extravagant celebrations, he chose to mark the moment in a way that felt right—sharing a meal with his family. Since then, his mind has been buzzing with plans. Holidays to Thailand and Vietnam are now on the horizon, and he has even promised his wife a luxury handbag and a pair of designer shoes. The modest beginnings of his ticket purchase have now blossomed into big dreams that he can actually bring to life.

Just a few weeks later, in mid-July, another father and recent retiree from the same region was struck by the same fortune. This second dad has been a loyal player of Set For Life since the game launched, and his patience finally paid off. When the numbers aligned, he described himself as speechless, gobsmacked, and completely overjoyed. Holidays are firmly on his agenda too, especially since he admitted it had been quite some time since his last proper getaway.
National Lottery advisor Andy Carter summed it up perfectly, calling Manchester a lucky place to live for Set For Life players. His role is to help winners not just celebrate but also step into their new lifestyle with support and guidance. It’s about making sure the practical side of things—like financial planning and emotional readiness—matches the excitement of such a windfall.
For anyone unfamiliar with the game, Set For Life is drawn twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Players choose five main numbers from one to 47 and one special “Life Ball” from one to 10. The top prize is £10,000 a month for 30 years, an incredible total of £3.6 million. The second prize offers the same monthly sum but for one year, and all this comes at a ticket price of just £1.50 per line.
Although not everyone gets lucky, every ticket bought contributes to good causes across the UK. From arts and sports projects to community support, funding reaches into every postcode. That means even when the jackpot slips away, something worthwhile is being supported.
For these two mystery dads, though, the dream has become real. Instead of worrying about bills or waiting for a payday, they now wake up each month to a guaranteed deposit that will keep flowing in for years. And while their stories remain private, they show just how suddenly life can be transformed by a handful of numbers.
