District of Kent for the Set For Life draw on October 24, 2024. <\/p>\n<p>It will have the winning five main numbers \u2013 2, 11, 29, 37, 45 plus the Life Ball 6. <\/p>\n<p>However, the person has to claim the money by Tuesday, April 22. <\/p>\n<p>The dreamy amount \u2013 \u00a33,600,000 in total \u2013 would be life-changing for most people. <\/p>\n<p>One Sevenoaks resident told <strong>Metro <\/strong>that he wished he were the mystery winner. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018If I knew who it was, I\u2019d take the ticket,\u2019 he joked.<\/p>\n<p>Another local man said he wishes \u2018whoever won it spends it splendidly,\u2019 but said he doesn\u2019t play the lottery himself despite it being \u2018several millions.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Kathy Garrett, a winners\u2019 advisor for Allwyn, the National Lottery\u2019s operator, explained what any player who hasn\u2019t checked their ticket should do: \u2018The winning draw took place a week before Halloween, so think about where you were when you were about to carve your pumpkin or preparing for trick or treating. <\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\" data-ico=\"factbox_article\" data-track-module=\"factbox_article\">\n<h2 class=\"factbox-title\">\n\t\t\t\tWhat happens when you win the Lottery? \t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div class=\"factbox-content\">\n<p>Once you have managed to find the ticket and check the numbers really match, you should call the number on the back of the ticket connecting to the lottery line. <\/p>\n<p>You will then get a call from the winner\u2019s advisor who will then come visit you in person, ideally the next day. <\/p>\n<p>You can read more about what happens during each step after winning <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/03\/28\/actually-happens-win-euromillions-lottery-2-22812563\/\"

<\/p>\n<p>She said a builder claimed a whopping \u00a350,000,000 ticket days before it expired after \u2018he had left the winning ticket in the sun visor of his work van.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Many Sevenoaks residents <strong>Metro <\/strong>spoke with were surprised to hear the winning ticket was bought in the town. <\/p>\n<p>However, the county of Kent has been lucky before, with four new lottery winners announced in the run-up to Christmas last year. <\/p>\n<p>Only known as Mrs P, she scooped \u00a3109,852.40 in Lucky Star, followed by the \u00a31,000,000 win by Mr A through the
