A Group of Neighbors Won $1.3 Million in the Lottery

A neighborhood in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire, England, collectively won the Millionaire Street prize in the People's Postcode Lottery. Their postal code, AL9 6PT, was announced as the winner of the latest weekly draw.

The £1 million prize (about $1.3 million) was shared among seven residents who held tickets through the lottery's monthly subscription. Each winner received £83,333 ($109,000) on average.

Notable Winner: Samesh Kumari

Samesh Kumari, a retired fashion firm owner, won one of the largest shares—£249,999 ($328,000)—because he had three tickets. He had taken out a subscription four months ago in memory of his late mother, Chanchal Kumari.

“I think mum would be really proud. I'm not sure I did, but she was right. I've only been playing for about four months. To have won so quickly is amazing. When I signed up, I was thinking about mum. This is extra special.”

Samesh plans to dedicate his winnings to his mother, a meaningful tribute that added to the joy of the unexpected prize.
