Kent’s radio station, kmfm, surprised listeners this week with an unexpected game of Thousand Pound Friday.
The competition usually runs on the last Friday of each month, where kmfm gives listeners 24 hours to enter – from 6pm Thursday to 6pm Friday – either by text or online.

But in a surprise twist on Thursday at 6pm Ben Pearce on kmfm’s Getting You Home surprised listeners with the news that an extra round of the game would be running this week.
Twenty-four hours later, one lucky winner was chosen at random as the winner.
Elaine Heagren from Rochester is celebrating a £1,000 cash win after becoming the latest winner of Thousand Pound Friday with kmfm!
The mum from Medway works as a cook at a nursery in Chatham, and was listening at the time and decided to enter the competition at 8am today.
This evening, Ben Pearce on kmfm’s Getting You Home made the exciting winning call.
Elaine was thrilled, saying she plans to spend the money on taking her daughter Sasha and grandson, Stanley, 13, on their first holiday abroad
Watch the moment Elaine found out she had won September’s Thousand Pound Friday:
Didn’t win this time? As September becomes one of the biggest months for winning in kmfm’s history Thousand Pound Friday will return next week for another bonus round.
And there are even more chances to win with the final week of their September competition Play 3 Pay Me.
