Man pledges charity boost as Brookmans Park street wins huge Postcode Lottery prize

Seven neighbours in Brookmans Park will share a £1 million prize from the People's Postcode Lottery. The winning postcode AL9 6PT claimed the weekly "Millionaire Street" prize.

Steven Bean, 52, one of the triple-ticket winners, immediately pledged to donate part of his and his wife Olesya’s quarter-of-a-million prize to a charity supporting adults with learning difficulties.

On October 9, Camphill Milton Keynes charity revealed its only minibus was stolen and later found torched. Steven added:

Lucy Davies, Camphill's head of development, commented:

Steven Bean's pledge highlights community generosity following a substantial lottery win shared by neighbours.
