Omaze Million Pound House Superdraw won by Southampton dad

Graham Dunlop, 52, won the Omaze Million Pound House Superdraw – and is now the proud owner of a four-bedroom villa in Mallorca complete with swimming pool and mountain views.

The IT specialist, who has lived near Southampton since 2014, won the prize after his search for a new office armchair on Gumtree.

When Graham had settled on the right chair and went to pick it up, the woman insisted that she wanted to give it to him for free.

The woman only asked that he make a small donation to Alzheimer’s Research UK as her late husband had dementia.

Graham duly donated directly to the charity, but then decided to enter the Omaze prize draw as well after spotting it was supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The Omaze Million Pound House Superdraw has raised more than £3 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

When Omaze first contacted Graham to tell him he’d won a prize, he said he had forgotten he’d entered and revealed he didn’t expect to win such a big prize as he “never wins anything.”

The father of two said he celebrated his huge win “the best way a British man can – by popping the kettle on having a cup of tea".

He said: “I’ve never won anything before - but this is worth waiting 52 years for! I’m not sure what we’re going to do long term yet - we’ll definitely be enjoying a few family holidays here

“My wife didn’t like the look of my lucky chair at first, but of course she absolutely loves it now.

“I’ll bring the chair out here for sure, although it might look a bit odd next to the pool.

“We love Spain but never dreamed we’d ever own a place here - especially one like this. I might have to work on my Spanish a bit.

Graham, who bought his £3,000,000-winning entry for £75, has been married to his wife Amanda for 15 years and they have two children, an 18-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son.
