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

- 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.

How would you react if you were Chris?
Probably speechless, emotional, excited - no jumping unless someone was prepared to pick me up off the floor when I landed flat on my face 😂😂😂 It really must be the most amazing feeling ever when the Omaze team comes knocking on your door!
Why don't you draw my name and I can show you? 😂😂

Brought a smile to my face. I wish it was mine of course but it's so nice seeing the joy of the winners. ENJOY!!!
Supporting Children in need and they lived in Pudsey. What a coincidence.
We should bear that in mind.
I know right I’m getting suspicious now this thing is triggered 😂

Congratulations, nice video. The winners didn't realise they had squatters until they walked through that door 😮😅. Not sure I could talk if I ever won, I'd either appear to be cold and unemotional or be a blubbering wreck 😅

Congratualtions

@kerryjusto6350 Thanks for sharing your well wishes! Good luck in the Surrey draw!
Chris happy retirement🎉😂😂
Awww 🥹😭
I needed that house u was sure it was made for me. I guess thats why it wasn't given me., must be better on it's way to me. Bet it was close by to a main road 😂
Well, congratulations I guess but it should have been me, lol. Just kidding. Enjoy your new house and your retirement. 😊
@mikedoverskog Thank you for sharing your congratulations!
This should of been mine. I'm not happy for him. 😂
@emzi83 🤣 🤣🤣
Sounds like he might sell the house
Straight to the estate agents 😂
@@donnawaldron3261 yes 😂. That extra 100k wouldn’t cover the council tax and electric bills etc for very long
@@helenalovelock1030 I am pretty sure everyone who wins never lives in them. All the ones I have seen are not my taste either some are just too modern and high maintenance. I'd sell it and get something I really wanted and in an area I wanted.
@helenalovelock1030 A wonderful choice to have!
We have an article on that which you can find here: omaze.co.uk/blogs/news/what-happens-if-you-win-the-dorset-house
So fake...
Congratulations to you with love
