Lauren Keene, 24, from Gloucester has become the youngest Omaze Grand Prize winner to date, winning the keys to her very own, £3 million mansion in the Omaze Million Pound House Draw — for just £20.
Her new, West Hollywood-inspired home on the Wirral boasts five bedrooms, stunning coastal views, a cinema room and a heated, outdoor swimming pool — and comes mortgage free, with all legal fees covered.
Lauren also scooped £250,000 in cash to help her settle into the massive 4,750 sq ft property, which sits in a sought-after location on the edge of the Wirral Peninsula.
A full-time nanny, Lauren still lives with her dad in his two-bedroom flat in Gloucester and has been saving up for years to move in with her long-term partner, Ryan, who was born in Liverpool — not far from Lauren's new Merseyside mansion.
Lauren said: 'It was just an ordinary Friday really; I was heading for a McDonald’s after work when I got a call from Omaze telling me I’d won something. I was sceptical — and hungry — but went straight home to see what I'd won.
'The next thing we knew, the Omaze team were all there telling us we’d won a £3 million mansion! I was gobsmacked!
'It was definitely worth missing my McDonald’s for, it’s made me a multi-millionaire! We did end up celebrating with a Maccies afterwards and it was a very, very happy meal indeed!'
Lauren can choose to live in her house, rent it out — with an estimated long-term rental value of £8,000 per month — or put it on the market to cash out and become a multi-millionaire.
She continued: 'Thanks to the £250,000 we’ve pocketed as part of the win, we could afford to stay here for many years if we decided to, it's a great position to be in.
'Winning this house has transformed our lives forever! Whatever we decide to do long-term, we’re made for life now.'
Not only making Lauren a multi-millionaire, this Omaze Million Pound House Draw helped to raise a whopping £3.5 million for Scouts.
And if you're feeling lucky, draw entries for the next Omaze house in the Lake District are open until Boxing Day...
