A fortunate woman who won a £1 million prize generously gave her neighbors £5,000 to enable them to experience their first family vacation abroad. Honorata Jamrozik, aged 48, secured the life-changing tax-free award in Omaze’s Monthly Millionaire draw and promptly decided to assist the family residing next door whom she had been neighbors with for 14 years.
Being a foster carer, Honorata expressed that funding the holiday would provide the opportunity for their children to travel overseas together for the first time. However, the timing of the win was emotionally significant for Honorata as she had recently laid her father to rest in Poland, and she viewed the prize as a symbolic gift from her late father.
Honorata, hailing from Dartford, Kent, emphasized the impact of the prize on their lives, stating that it not only changed their circumstances but also allowed them to support their loved ones, bringing immense joy. She praised her neighbors as invaluable blessings and extended her happiness in assisting them in creating lasting memories through the holiday gift.
Despite the recent loss of her father, Honorata felt his presence in her life and credited him for orchestrating the miraculous win. She cherished her father’s memory and described him as a guiding presence in her life, ensuring that his legacy continued through her actions.
Prior to winning the prize, Honorata had dedicated seven years to fostering before pausing to care for her elderly parents in Poland. The windfall now enables her to resume the foster care role she is passionate about, emphasizing her desire to positively impact children in need of support and a better future.
Securing the £1 million prize through her monthly Omaze subscription, Honorata’s husband, Dino, was pleasantly surprised by her win, having previously joked about the slim chances of her becoming a millionaire. The unexpected news arrived while she was preparing dinner, creating a memorable moment for the entire family.
In addition to treating their neighbors to a dream holiday, Honorata and Dino planned to commemorate their upcoming 20th wedding anniversary with a special family vacation. They intended to include Honorata’s mother in the celebration as a gesture of appreciation for the challenges the family had recently faced.
The Omaze Monthly Millionaire Draw guarantees a UK winner a tax-free £1 million every month, contributing over £140 million to charity partners across the UK since its inception. Matt Pohlson, CEO and Founder of Omaze, commended Honorata’s generosity and resilience, highlighting her selfless act of kindness and commitment to helping others, which resonated with the core values of the organization.
