The hunt is on for a lottery ticket winner entitled to £10k a month for the next three decades who is at risk of losing their prize this weekend.

Players who bought a ticket in Sevenoaks are being urged to check theirs for the chance to claim the top prize, as the huge prize still hasn’t been claimed.

The National Lottery is desperately looking for the owner of the winning ticket, who matched the five main numbers and the Life Ball during the draw on Thursday, October 24.

Winning numbers on that date were 2, 11, 29, 37, 45 and the Life Ball was 6.

The ticket holder has until April 22 2025, to claim their prize if they have the lucky ticket in their possession.

However, if they don’t have it, the recipient must register their claim by Saturday (November 23) to receive their winnings.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operators of The National Lottery, said: “It’s important that any player who is not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who thinks they have a genuine claim to this prize notifies us in writing by 5pm on Saturday at the latest.

“We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings; this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.”

If no one comes forward before the deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
