We try to track down Sevenoaks’ Set For Life winner

Commuters in Kent got a first-class surprise when The National Lottery used Sevenoaks station as a ‘platform’ to inform them that an amazing Set For Life top prize won in the district has yet to be claimed.

As passengers passed through the busy station on 10th March 2025 they were greeted by bespoke signs, special announcements voiced by a National Lottery winner and messages displayed on the platforms’ electronic information boards. They all delivered a similar message: a lucky National Lottery player in the Sevenoaks district has yet to claim the incredible Set For Life top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years they won in the draw held on 24th October 2024.

The owner of the winning ticket, which matched the five main numbers and the Life Ball - 2, 11, 29, 37, 45 and the Life Ball, 6 – needs to claim their prize before the ticket expires on 22nd April 2025.

The special campaign was created by The National Lottery and rail company Southeastern.

James Evans, who won the Set For Life top prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years in 2020, loaned a hand by broadcasting news of the unclaimed prize over the station’s PA system. James, a landscaper who is retraining as a ski instructor, knows exactly how a big Set For Life prize can change your life.

Patrick Lisoire from Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, said, “Sevenoaks station is one of the busiest transport hubs in the district, so it’s possible the lucky ticketholder, or someone they know, is travelling through here. If they are, hopefully we will have reminded them to check that ticket and then, fingers crossed, some very lucky person will do just that and realise they are now ‘set for life’. Wouldn’t it be incredible to be able to swap a season ticket for a winning National Lottery ticket!”

Southeastern’s Sevenoaks Station Manager, Jack Heidrey, added, “It’s exciting to think that one of our commuters could be the winning ticketholder but maybe doesn’t know it yet. We hope that by lending our support to The National Lottery in this life-changing search, someone from Sevenoaks will soon have 10,000 reasons a month to enjoy life’s journey.”
