Pocket money worth $5000 a month for a year starts tomorrow

In less than 24 hours Lotto game Set for Life will be introducing its new Division Two annuity prize with up to four winners being given the chance to win $5,000 a month for a whole year.
 
As of tomorrow you’ll be able to buy tickets into the new Set for Life game with its Division Two annuity prize, with the first draw starting on Monday, 23 March.
 
The game’s Division One prize remains the same at $20,000 a month for 20 years for up to four winners.
 
Set for Life is the only Australian Lotto game where both Division One and Division Two offer a set amount of ongoing prize money.
 
Lotterywest spokesperson Hermione Coleman said the new annuity prize allowed the imagination to stretch beyond a new pair of heels or surfboard.
 
“It’s an awful lot of pocket money,” she said.
 
“It’s the equivalent of $60,000 a year – 10 times the current Division Two offering – so things like getting ahead on the mortgage, splurging on a long overdue facial, or AFL Grand Final tickets, could all be made possible.”
 
Ms Coleman said past Set for Life winners reported that not only was the win life changing, but it allowed them to create long term wealth.
 
“It’s enough so that we can put money away and really save. You can’t spend it all at once,” one winner said.
 
“It also allows you to do things on a whim. I took my sister to an overseas concert last year, and it was truly amazing.”
 
WA’s latest winner who took home the Division One prize just this month said he was now able to sit back and enjoy retirement.
 
“I was planning on retiring in three months and didn’t know how I was going to do it just on the pension and the little Super I have,” he said.
 
“Now I needn’t worry, I can retire early and buy a caravan and travel in style.”
 
The new Set for Life game goes on sale start tomorrow with tickets starting from the first draw of the new game on Monday, 23 March.
 
Tickets can be bought in-store, online or via the app.
