The Dorset House Winner Held It Together Until We Asked Him This

Winning an Omaze Million Pound House is always an emotional affair, just ask the Dorset House Grand Prize Winner, Chris Milnes, from Pudsey, Yorkshire. The lucky father of three managed to hold it together when we told him he’d won the £2,500,000 rainforest-inspired house in Dorset, along with £100,000 in cash—but fought back the tears when Jo asked him and his wife, Jules, what they would do next. Press play to find out his plans as he and Jules look around their stunning, five bedroom Forest House for the first time.

Chris said: “When I got the call from Omaze to say I’d won something I thought wow, a couple of grand would go down a treat at the minute - I never imagined that I might’ve won a house worth more than a couple of million, it's crazy!”

Chris, 60, who spent much of his childhood living in a council flat in Leeds, entered the Dorset House Draw, supporting BBC Children in Need, without telling Jules or their three children—who were utterly speechless to learn of his win. A week before the life-changing news, the couple had been discussing having to downsize their current family home to keep costs manageable.

The Dorset House Draw also raised crucial funds for BBC Children In Need to give children someone to turn to in times of crisis and the vital positive relationships they need to navigate challenges in their lives.

It’s a win:win. So, why wait? Enter our next live draw now.
