What would you do if you had £10,000 straight into your bank account every month for 30
00:05
years?
00:06
Well for one Sevenoaks local the dream is a reality but the catch is they don't even
00:11
know it and if they don't realise and produce a winning ticket by the 22nd of April then
00:15
the money will go to national lottery funded projects across the country instead of their
00:19
wallet.
00:20
But there's another catch.
00:22
The ticket was bought all the way back in October last year and time is running out.
00:26
If the Sevenoaks secret millionaire doesn't come forward in the next week then they wouldn't
00:30
be entitled to a penny of that life changing money.
00:33
But I was on a mission to find our missing money bags with the help of the people of Sevenoaks.
00:38
Of the 120,000 people here in Sevenoaks, just one person has the winning ticket and we're
00:43
going to see if we can find them today.
00:44
Let's go.
00:45
Excuse me madam, do you use the lottery at all?
00:48
No, I don't.
00:49
You don't?
00:50
OK.
00:51
Well if you did win, what would you do with the Set for Live campaign so it's £10,000 every
00:55
month for 30 years.
00:56
Yeah.
00:57
Total of £3.6 million.
00:58
What would you do if you ended up winning?
00:59
Gosh.
01:00
So someone's won that locally, have they?
01:02
Yes.
01:03
Do you know, £10,000 a month is an awful lot so I think I'd probably, I've got children
01:09
that would really welcome a bit of money every month so I think I'd probably do that, kind
01:13
of support everyone.
01:14
A little car, lovely little house, stay in the area and give the rest to my daughter for
01:20
her life, you know, the rest of her life.
01:22
I would disappear from England and travel the world possibly and go everywhere where
01:28
the weather is hot.
01:29
Travelling to see our family abroad in either Australia or in Canada or in Eastern Southern
01:36
Africa.
01:37
Some advice experts have given includes remembering back to autumn when the ticket was bought,
01:42
checking coat pockets, scouring through their vehicles and even in places you might not
01:46
expect.
01:47
People have kept tickets in dictionaries under L for the lottery.
01:53
People have kept them under the front door mat as a place where it won't move from.
02:00
A million and one places, I'm sure, anything you can probably think of has possibly happened
02:06
in terms of where people have kept their tickets safe.
02:09
Now it has happened before where people would find their tickets right before the deadline.
02:12
And as I was speaking to people, quite a few had heard of the missing winner.
02:16
But we were no closer to finding them.
02:18
But this isn't the end.
02:19
Like I say, there's one more week.
02:21
So, we've been mainly operating around this area.
02:24
But now, I want you to go out and see if you can find the set for life winner anywhere
02:27
here or in the rest of Sevenoaks.
02:29
Family members, co-workers, your dog's groomers, the person serving you in a shop, the winner
02:34
could be anyone up until that deadline day of Tuesday, April 22nd.
02:38
And while it will certainly be a mission to find them, it's far from impossible.
