Have you ever dreamed of winning a grand prize that would change your life forever? Imagine winning a luxurious six-bedroom home with swish interiors and a value that exceeds most people's annual income. This dream became a reality for many lucky winners across the country, thanks to Omaze. With a chance to enter for as little as £10, this prestigious prize has been snatched up by countless winners, leaving them with a unique dilemma - should they move in, rent out, or sell the property?
One such winner, 54-year-old Rachael Reid from Inverness, bagged the stunning Surrey home in July 2024. Originally valued at £3,000,000, Rachael's luck didn't stop there. She recently decided to put the home on the market for £2,950,000, making a profit of £50,000. It turns out Rachael isn't the only Omaze winner who chose to sell and pocket the money. According to reports from MailOnline, out of the 14 luxury homes won by August 2023, only three were still occupied, while the remaining ten were sold and one was rented out on Airbnb.
The Farnham home, set across 1.4 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, boasts a separate leisure building with a 40-foot swimming pool, sauna, and gym. The spacious living room and separate study space offer plenty of room for relaxation and productivity. With six bedrooms, the main bedroom stands out with its seating area, walk-in dressing room, and ensuite bathroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath. The French doors leading out to the patio add a touch of elegance and convenience.
The kitchen is equipped with an island and breakfast bar, Shaker oak eye and base level units, and a range of fitted Siemens appliances. Liebherr full height induction hob and a boiling filtered water tap make cooking a breeze. And for those warm summer months, an outdoor kitchen with concrete worktops, built-in cupboards, a gas BBQ, and an open fireplace offers the perfect spot for entertaining while enjoying the views of the gardens and grounds.
When Rachael first received the news of her big win, she thought it was a prank by her husband's cousin, who is known for his practical jokes. But when she saw the film crew outside her door, she knew it was the real deal. Her husband, Darren, was finally able to retire from his job in the energy industry, which often required him to work away from home for weeks at a time. Rachael shares that they had spent more time apart than together as a family, making the win even more special. They were finally able to spend Christmas together and enjoy their time at the Omaze home.
Although they could have stayed in the home for years with the money Rachael received as part of her win, they decided to sell and use the money to buy an "amazing home" closer to their family and friends in Scotland. The sale of the Surrey home will change everything for the entire family, and Rachael couldn't be more excited for the future. She even hopes to build their very own "Omazing" house. Rachael encourages anyone who is thinking of entering Omaze to go for it and wishes them the best of luck, as it can truly happen to anyone.
However, not everyone chooses to sell their Omaze home. For Daren Bell, winning a nine-bedroom home worth £4.5 million in Norfolk was the perfect opportunity to move into his dream property and close the distance between him and his long-term partner, Claire. When he received the call from Omaze, he thought it was too good to be true. After only three months of paying the £10 monthly subscription fee, Daren's life changed forever. He and Claire had been waiting for the right time to move in together, and winning the Omaze house was the catalyst they needed. They now have enough space for Claire's four children and Daren's multiple cats, and they even plan on moving Daren's 84-year-old father in with them once he retires from working at a hospital.
Do you have a similar story to share? Omaze has given many people the opportunity of a lifetime, and if you're feeling lucky, why not give it a shot? Who knows, you could be the next winner of an incredible home that will change your life forever.
