Lottery Winner Shares £1M Windfall With Neighbors
1 Nov
Summary
- Lottery winner gifted £5,000 to neighbors for their first holiday abroad.
- The generous act followed a £1 million lottery win in 2026.
- The winner also plans to resume fostering children after her win.
Honorata Jamrozik, a mother of two from Dartford, Kent, received a £1 million tax-free prize from the Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw in 2026. Her first act was to surprise her neighbours of 14 years with £5,000 for their family's first holiday abroad, a gesture driven by their long-standing kindness to her family.
The significant win occurred just two weeks after Jamrozik returned from her father's funeral in Poland, leading her to view the prize as a gift sent by him. This personal context underscored her desire to share the good fortune with those close to her.
In addition to helping her neighbours, Jamrozik intends to resume her previous career as a foster carer. She dedicated seven years to fostering before stepping down to care for her elderly parents in Poland, a role that necessitated frequent travel between countries.
Jamrozik and her husband, married for nearly 20 years, are also planning a special trip to celebrate their anniversary in October 2026, intending to include her mother in a family holiday. Her husband had been skeptical about her Omaze entries, joking she was more likely to be struck by lightning than win.
The Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw, which Jamrozik entered via a £15 monthly subscription, supports UK charities, having raised over £140 million since its 2020 launch.
