🏡 Ever wondered why some lucky winners of Omaze’s stunning prize homes decide to sell up? Well, co-founder Matt Pohlson has spilt the beans! 🏠
Omaze has swept the UK with its irresistible prize draws where participants can win jaw-dropping homes and massive cash bonuses. From posh pads in Cheshire’s Golden Triangle to scenic getaways in the Cotswolds, these dream homes seem perfect. But why do winners often choose to sell these prized properties?
Pohlson shared that while the accompanying cash prize can comfortably sustain the homes for years, many opt to sell because the money they receive is truly life-changing. 💸
Take Lauren Keene, a 24-year-old nanny from Gloucester. She won an incredible £3m house on the Wirral but decided to put it on the market for £2.5m. Why? According to her dad, the running costs are just too high, especially with features like an outdoor heated pool which costs a fortune in the colder months. 🏊♀️
Instead, Lauren and her partner are using the proceeds to buy a more manageable home closer to their lives and jobs in Gloucester. It seems like a sensible choice for a young couple embarking on their future together.
Similarly, Tom Steenson decided to sell his £2m win. Describing the money as “life-changing”, Tom is planning to enjoy his new home for a bit before selling it, turning his winnings into a financial cushion for his family.
Omaze is not only making winners’ dreams come true but also supporting causes close to their hearts. Since arriving in the UK, Omaze has raised over £100m for charities like the British Heart Foundation and London’s Air Ambulance Charity. 🌟
