Entries can be made between 6pm on Thursday and 6pm on Friday, when one Kent winner is chosen at random.
Earlier today, Fiona McLennan, from Ashford, received a call from Ben Pearce, from Getting You Home, who revealed she was this month’s winner.
She told kmfm she plans to spend it on having her car fixed, though she thinks her boyfriend Joe will suggest they spend it on a holiday.

Rob and Numi from kmfm Breakfast announced the return of the station’s competition for 2026 on Monday morning, following a successful month of cash giveaways with ‘Pay My Bills’, which gave listeners the chance to win their share of thousands of pounds to help cover post-Christmas costs.
In 2025, Thousand Pound Friday awarded a total of £13,000 to 13 listeners across Kent, with one lucky winner taking home £1,000 on the final Friday of each month.
Listeners won’t have to wait long for another chance to win, with a brand-new competition, Crack the Code, launching next month.
