What are the Set for Life prize divisions?
Set for Life has 8 prize divisions. Division 1 (the jackpot) is reserved for entries matching every main number. Lower divisions reward partial matches, with prize amounts decreasing as the match requirements ease.
What's the minimum jackpot?
A$20K/month for 20 years is the fixed Division 1 annuity, not a rolling cash jackpot — the same structure is on offer every draw whether or not it's won. It is guaranteed in full to each of up to 4 Division 1 winners a draw; with 5 or more winners in the same draw, a total of A$80,000 a month is divided equally between them instead. Division 2 (A$5,000 a month for 1 year) works the same way — guaranteed to up to 4 winners, or a A$20,000-a-month total split between 5 or more.

How are prize amounts calculated?
Set for Life's top two divisions are fixed monthly annuities, not pari-mutuel cash prizes. Division 1 pays A$20,000 a month for 20 years, and Division 2 pays A$5,000 a month for 1 year — both guaranteed in full to each of up to 4 winners a draw. If 5 or more tickets share a division in the same draw, that division's total (A$80,000 a month for Division 1, A$20,000 a month for Division 2) is divided equally between every winner of that division instead.
How do I claim a Set for Life prize?
Claim through the official The Lott jurisdictions / Lotterywest (WA), not through this site — smaller prizes can usually be paid at any authorised retailer, while larger amounts require contacting the operator directly with the original ticket and ID.

Queensland allows 7 years to claim; NSW and the ACT allow 6 years; the Northern Territory allows 3 years; Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia each allow 12 months initially. Check the rules for the jurisdiction the ticket was purchased in before assuming a shorter window applies.
