Herbert Plant has just won £2.6 million on the lottery. So why is this such a big deal? Well, it’s because he used to be homeless. At the moment Herbert Plant, who is 49 and from Blackpole in Worcester, works as a chef in a hostel that took him in. I think that’s so amazing because we tend to think that homelessness hapens to other people but the fact is that it could easily happen to us.

We live in a world obsessed with stuff like expensive sports cars and jewellery but can you imagine being homeless? Not having anywhere to call home, wondering if you’re going to get any food that night or some shelter. It must be horrible and we tend to walk past these people as if they are invisible.

Hopefully this lottery win won’t change Herbert Plant too much and he plans to keep his job as a chef although he’s looking to buy a car and pay off his son’s mortgage. Good on you mate!

I am glad he won the lottery. I would rather someone like him won than someone who did not need the money. I hope he uses the money wise and does not spend it all in a few years.

Oh yes.. he’s a real saint.. Perhaps there was a good reason he lost his job in the first place…
