Winner of £300,000 National Lottery prize has just one week left to claim
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.'

Single lucky Lotto player urged to check ticket to claim £4 million jackpot prize
A single ticket holder has won the £4 million jackpot in Saturday's Lotto draw. The winning Lotto numbers were 11, 17, 27, 30, 39 and 46 while the bonus number was 56. Players have been urged to check their tickets and call in to claim the top prize, with the jackpot winner matching all six main numbers to take the £4,003,513 sum. Set of balls 10 and draw machine Lancelot were used. Wednesday's jackpot will be an estimated £2 million. Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at The National Lottery operator Allwyn, said: 'Amazing news for our lucky Lotto players, as one ticket-holder has won tonight's £4 million jackpot. 'Luck is clearly in the air, as this is the second Lotto jackpot win in a week, after a single ticket-holder bagged last Saturday's (May 31) £3.9 million jackpot.' No players matched all five numbers in Lotto HotPicks, which uses the same numbers as the Lotto draw. Twelve players won £13,000 each after they managed to match four numbers. The winning Thunderball numbers were 01, 05, 13, 17 and 39 while the Thunderball was 08. No-one matched all five numbers plus the Thunderball to scoop the £500,000 top prize, but one ticket holder matched all five regular numbers to win £5,000. To enter Lotto, a player must pick just six numbers, or can opt for a lucky dip to randomise them. Matching all six will get them the jackpot, with cash prizes decreasing in value from there until two matches, which secures another lucky dip to use next time. National Lottery players have also been warned that they will be unable to purchase tickets from retailers for 'one weekend' soon as a long-delayed technology upgrade is carried out. Operator Allwyn, which assumed control of the lottery from Camelot in February of last year, has alerted retailers to an impending 36-hour shutdown of retail terminals. To mitigate disruption, Allwyn intends to initiate the upgrade around 11pm on a Saturday, capitalising on the National Lottery's overnight non-trading period and the absence of Sunday draw-based games. However, the exact date for the plans has not been revealed.
