Neighbors Share $1.3 Million Lottery Win

A group of neighbors in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire, England, collectively won $1.3 million through the People's Postcode Lottery. Their postal code, AL9 6PT, was announced as the winner of the Millionaire Street prize in the latest weekly draw.

Prize Distribution Among Seven Residents

The £1 million prize (approximately $1.3 million) was divided between seven residents who held tickets through the lottery's monthly subscription. Each ticket was valued at around £83,333 ($109,000).

Winner Highlights Personal Dedication

Samesh Kumari, a retired fashion firm owner, received the largest share of £249,999 ($328,000) due to holding three tickets. He took out a subscription in honor of his late mother, Chanchal Kumari, just four months prior.

“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 dedicated his winnings to the memory of his mother.
