Wayne Wood’s biggest prize before this was a cabbage, won in a 1977 meat draw. Now the 64-year-old has won a £4 million Georgian mansion in Bath through Omaze.
Wood and his wife, Catherine, also received £250,000 in cash, a mortgage-free property, covered legal costs and £140,000 worth of furnishings.
The win turned Wood’s decades-old cabbage joke into reality, replacing an unusually modest prize with a luxury home and additional financial support.
