A man named Kevin Layne, 63, is facing homelessness after winning £140 in the lottery but being denied his prize at a local Tesco. The store cited a policy that prevents them from paying out winnings over £100, leading to his ban. Kevin, who has severe asthma, received a notice to vacate his shared housing by Friday. He struggles to find new accommodation due to a lack of references and a permanent job since returning to the UK four years ago. He approached Wyre Forest Council for emergency housing but claims he has not received help. Kevin has moved his belongings into storage as he prepares for potential homelessness.
