Lottery winner refuses to leave council home…

I read an article in the telegraph this this week that states ‘A lottery winner who could afford several homes has refused to leave his council house despite a long waiting list of more needy people…he has refused to purchase a property of his own’

What are your thoughts? Why would a lottery winner who won a ‘significant’ amount of money not wish to now have his own home in a lovely area instead of a flat in a block of flats in a council tenant lead area??

It also turn out that ‘another couple in subsidised accommodation in the same area had a second house and yacht abroad’.

It makes you wonder doesn’t it….
