Jo Booth (61) from Dorset has won the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw in Yorkshire after buying a ticket for just a tenner.
She is now the proud owner of an 18th century Georgian country house in Ryedale boasting six-bedrooms, 15 acres of gardens and a spa pool - as well as its own paddocks, stables and state-of-the-art equestrian facilities.
Normanby House at Sinnington, west of Pickering, comes mortgage-free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. She won £250,000 in cash to help her settle in and can decide to either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it whenever she wishes to become a cash multi-millionaire.
Jo, who bought her multi-million-pound winning entry for just £10 as part of her Omaze subscription, joked that when Omaze came calling at her door, her first thought was that they ”might be burglars!”
She has been married to husband Will Harrop (51) for 17 years - and the couple have lived in their 3-bedroom house in Dorset, that Will built himself, for the past 15 years.
