Remember hearing about that unclaimed Set For Life lottery ticket in Sevenoaks, Kent? It wasn’t just any old win; we’re talking the “Set For Life” prize, which is the dream-inducing £10,000 dropping into your bank account every single month for 30 years, and yes, getting paid to live your best life for three whole decades. This incredible prize was won in the draw on October 24th, 2024. The winning numbers that held the key to this fortune were 2, 11, 29, 37, 45, and the all-important Life Ball was 6. But for months, the winner was… well, missing in action. Vanished!
So, the National Lottery decided enough was enough. On March 10th, 2025, they launched a full-blown search party at Sevenoaks station. They went all out, plastering signs everywhere, flashing messages on the screens, and even got a previous “Set For Life” winner, a chap named James Evans (who went from landscaping to training as a ski instructor, living the actual dream!), to make special announcements over the loudspeaker. Imagine that! “Step away from the platform edge… and also, seriously, check your pockets, you might be holding a ticket worth millions!”
James was genuinely excited, knowing firsthand how life-changing that kind of regular payout is. He hoped his voice might be the trigger that made someone finally dig out their ticket. The logic behind hitting the station was pretty simple: Sevenoaks is a major commuter hub. Chances were high that the winner, or maybe a friend or family member who knew they’d bought a ticket in the area, passed through there regularly. It was the perfect place to shout, “Hey, you might be rich!”
Unclaimed Set For Life Lottery Ticket
There was a strict deadline to claim that prize. The winning ticket had to be validated by April 22nd, 2025. And well… today is April 23rd, 2025. Unfortunately, despite the fanfare and the heartfelt pleas, the mystery winner never came forward before the deadline passed. That massive “Set For Life” prize, worth a staggering amount over 30 years, has now expired for the person who held the winning ticket. It’s a tough pill to swallow, right? Someone out there had the golden ticket and, for whatever reason, missed their chance. On the bright side, that unclaimed money doesn’t just disappear. It gets added to the funds the National Lottery gives to various good causes and charities across the UK. They’ve raised over £4 million a day for good causes since they started, and helped create over 7,400 millionaires along the way. So, the money will still do good things, which is great.
But wow, what a story! It’s a stark, slightly painful reminder: If you play the lottery, please check your tickets! Don’t leave that potential fortune languishing in a drawer, down the back of the sofa, or stuck to the fridge.
