A 48-year-old woman who won a million in the lottery immediately gave her neighbors a gift of five thousand, so they can travel on their first family vacation abroad.

Honorata Jamrozik scooped up the life-changing tax-free prize in the UK Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw—and her first act was selfless generosity.

The kind-hearted foster care mother surprised her neighbors of 14 years with the cash to spend on a family getaway.

“It’s a life-changing prize for us, but also for our friends and family,” said the woman from Dartford, Kent, who says she can go back to fostering kids thanks to the influx of money. “Now we can help make life easier for our loved ones—and that is the best feeling in the world.

“Good neighbors are one of life’s true blessings. They have been wonderful since the day we moved in, and they feel like family to us.

“Being able to give them money for a holiday so they can make some magical memories together makes me so happy.”
