A
great-grandfather who scooped £13.5million on the lottery still lives in
his council house that has been his home for nearly 30 years. Peter
Congdon, from Truro, Cornwall, scooped the prize in May and said at the
time that he planned to celebrate with a trip to Butlin's - where his
family has been going for the past 40 years. the 67-year-old is still living modestly despite his vast
fortune. He calls bingo numbers at a community centre and has continued
his work as a local councillor, it is understood.
A source close to Mr Congdon told the Sun:
'He doesn't want to move as he loves where he lives and knows the neighbours. He wants to spend the money on other people.'
The
former funeral director is believed to have splashed out on a £900,000
farmhouse for one of his three children, and has bought cars for a
number of relatives.
Mr
Congdon has also established a treatment centre for multiple sclerosis.
He was a full-time carer for his wife Rosemary, who suffered from the
disease, for 30 years, until she died six years ago.
