Million Pound Windfalls Turn Sandwichman to Heir
A Durham sandwichman learned he is an heir to a Melvern tailor estate worth £1,000,000 after a long search by London solicitors. Other windfalls include Michael McDonald, a Harwood club caretaker, inheriting from an American uncle, and a foundling German maid offered a fortune by her mother, who declines to become rich. Across Bristol and Plymouth, siblings and workers receive sums from long-lost relatives, with lottery prizes across Spain and France creating further dramatic fortunes.
