A draw every night
Set for Life is drawn every day of the year. Sales close at 9:00 pm AEST, 7:00 pm in Perth, and 10:00 pm AEDT in the daylight-saving states from October to April. In WA, Lotterywest says the winning numbers are shown on Seven and 7Live at about 8:30 pm. We copy the published result each night; the time is under the numbers.
How the numbers are drawn
Nine numbers are drawn from 1 to 44: seven winning numbers, then two supplementaries. Set for Life is the one national lotto game that isn’t drawn with balls. Under the WA lottery rules it’s a “random generation of 9 numbers”, made with equipment the lottery commission approves; Powerball, Oz Lotto, Saturday Lotto and Weekday Windfall are drawn mechanically.
What the top prizes are worth
Division 1 isn’t a lump sum. Lotterywest’s game page says it pays $200,000 upfront and $20,000 a month for 20 years, so the first payment is $220,000 and the total comes to $5 million for each winner, for up to four winners. With more winners, they share the larger amount.
Division 2 pays $20,000 upfront and $5,000 a month for a year. Divisions 3 to 8 are lump sums, set by how many people win them, and they’re what the dividends table above shows each night. The prizes and odds guide goes through every division.
