Adrian 'Mr Lambo' Portelli has announced the winner of his massive giveaway. The billionaire bidder, 35, spent $15million buying all five Phillip Island homes on the 2024 season of The Block and gave them all away in a record-breaking raffle. The house giveaway was earlier marred by technology issues which has forced him to postpone the announcement of the winner.
However he got back on track 24 hours later with over 111,000 viewers tuning in on Facebook. Portelli called the winner, a 34-year-old woman from Ballarat called Holly, to give her the good news that she had won. 'Oh my God, no f**ing way. I didn't watch the live on purpose because I thought it would be bad luck,' she Portelli during the call.
