A lottery ticket winner entitled to £10k a month for the next three decades is still yet to come forward.

Players who bought their ticket in Sevenoaks are being urged to check theirs for the chance to claim the top prize.

The National Lottery is hunting 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.

Andy Carter, senior winners advisor at Allwyn, operators of The National Lottery, said: “It’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, bags, in the car, wallets, purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces.

“Do you live or work in the area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through?

“Every single month for the next 30 years – that’s an incredible 360 months – will see the lucky ticket-holder banking £10,000. If only they would come forward!

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old Set For Life tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

The person has until Tuesday, April 22 to claim their prize.

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can write to Allwyn, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

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.
