Airlie Beach couple wins $20K monthly for 20 years in Set for Life jackpot

A lucky couple from Airlie Beach has scooped the latest Set for Life top prize. Their single winning ticket, bought online, secured them AU$20,000 every month for the next 20 years. The pair almost missed the life-changing call confirming their win.

The couple held the only division one entry in Australia for the recent Set for Life draw. Their winning numbers—15, 9, 35, 29, 27, 40, 11—along with supplementary numbers 38 and 31, were selected via a 5-game QuickPick on The Lott's website.

When notified, the woman admitted she was stunned into silence before feeling physically unwell. The pair later decided to mark the moment with champagne. The husband has already announced plans to leave his job, while his partner dreams of an overseas holiday. This win marks the third **Set for Life** top prize claimed in Queensland this March alone. However, no further details are available on how many similar top-tier wins the state has seen since 2020.

The Airlie Beach couple will collect a total of AU$4.8 million over two decades. Their prize money arrives as monthly payments of AU$20,000, starting immediately. The win follows a string of recent Set for Life successes across Queensland.
