Lottery winner 'treats' brother

A woman who won £9.3million on the Lottery sent her brother’s family a cheque for £1,000, saying: “Treat yourselves.”

Mega-rich Irene Jones and husband Ron pledged to “look after” close relatives when they scooped the fortune last October.

Her only brother Len Powell, 72, and his wife May were told to expect a cheque in the post and were stunned to find a cheque for just £1,000 — a tiny 0.010638 per cent of the triple rollover jackpot.



With it was a handwritten note from Irene — who makes hundreds of thousands a year in interest on her fortune.

It read: “Hope it will help you out with the struggle with money.”

The note signed off: “Treat yourselves . . . Love Irene.”
