The winner of a National Lottery prize worth £300,000 has been urged to come forward as their deadline to claim the money fast approaches. There is just a week left for the unknown victor to stake their claim and secure the massive £10,000-a-month for 30 years.
The winning ticket in the Set for Life draw was bought in Sevenoaks, Kent, on 24 October last year. The price must be claimed by Tuesday, 22 April 2025.
This will mark the end of the 180-day window the winner has to claim, with the search now well underway to make sure they don’t miss out.
National Lottery organisers have been busy on the streets of Sevenoaks to raise awareness and help find the missing winner who scooped the prize by matching the numbers 2, 11, 29, 37 and 45, and Life Ball 6.
Kathy Garrett, who advises winners of the National Lottery, said: “This kind of prize not only transforms the life of the winner, it’s typically life-changing for their loved ones too.
“With just days to go, we’re doing everything in our power to make sure this mystery person or syndicate comes forward, so they can enjoy the endless possibilities this prize offers.”
She added: “We once had a very fortunate builder who came forward not long before his ticket was due to expire.
“He won over £50 million and had left the winning ticket in the sun visor of his work van. I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to search the places you’d least expect.”
A spokeswoman for National Lottery operator Allwyn said: “While the National Lottery is committed to finding the winning ticket-holder, if the prize remains unclaimed the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
“This will add to the £30 million-plus raised every week by National Lottery players to make a difference in every community across the country.”
