Seven neighbours in Brookmans Park's AL9 6PT postcode have won a total of £1 million in the People's Postcode Lottery weekly draw. The "Millionaire Street" prize was distributed among the households as follows:
Steven Bean, 52, one of the triple-ticket winners, vowed to donate part of his £250,000 prize to a local charity supporting adults with learning difficulties.
“The first thing I’m going to do is give some money to a charity who had a bus stolen and burned.”
On October 9, Camphill Milton Keynes, a charity for adults with learning difficulties, had its only minibus stolen and later found burned. Steven and his wife Olesya plan to help the charity recover.
“The bus is insured, but it won’t cover the cost of getting a new one. Hopefully other people will give them a few quid too.”
Lucy Davies, head of development at Camphill Milton Keynes, expressed gratitude amidst the challenging situation for their residents.
“It has been a very difficult time for our residents who have found this situation very confusing and upsetting.”
