A lottery winner who has still not come forward to receive their prize of £10,000 every month for 30 years is being targeted with reminders at a Kent railway station.

On Monday, commuters at Sevenoaks Railway Station in Kent were reminded to check to see if they had won the Set for Life top prize.

The National Lottery and Southeastern teamed up to create bespoke station signs, digital platform messages and unique PA announcements voiced by a previous winner.

The winning ticket, which can be claimed until 22 April, was bought in the Sevenoaks district on 24 October.

The winner has until 22 April to claim their prize

Patrick Lisoire, consumer communications manager at National Lottery operator Allwyn, said: "Sevenoaks station is one of the busiest transport hubs in the district, so it's possible the lucky ticket-holder, or someone they know, is travelling through here."

If the winner does not come forward, the prize money will go towards National Lottery-funded projects.
