A Newcastle grandmother who won £2.7M on the National Lottery joined other millionaires in taking part in a charity beach clean.
Elaine Thompson and her husband Derek won the life-changing sum on the Lotto in 1995 and have spent the years since devoting their time to helping others. And now the generous couple have taken part in their latest charitable initiative - cleaning Sandsend Beach in Whitby for The 2 Minute Foundation.
The pair were joined by other millionaires from across the North East and Yorkshire who scooped huge wins on the National Lottery. The group, who have a combined wealth of almost £25 million, spent time picking up litter and plastic from the beach which can be devastating to marine animals.
