A west Kent-based lottery winner has just one more day to claim a prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years before it goes to good causes.

The winning ticket in the Set For Life National Lottery draw was bought in the Sevenoaks area on 24 October 2024 and the prize must be claimed by Tuesday.

Lottery organisers have spent the last few weeks raising awareness on the streets of the town in a bid to find the missing winner.

A spokesperson for National Lottery operator Allwyn said: "If the prize remains unclaimed the money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help projects across the UK."

Residents in Sevenoaks have been greeted with a giant replica of the National Lottery Set For Life winning ticket and oversized newspapers in an attempt to locate the winner.

In March, lottery organisers created bespoke station signs, digital platform messages and unique PA announcements voiced by a previous winner.
