Multiple bedrooms, swish interiors, and price tags more than most earn in a decade, Omaze mansions are the prize of just a lucky few across the UK. But after winning the multi-million pound house draw, available to enter for as little as £10, comes the dilemma: move in, rent out, or sell up?.

Now, yet another Omaze home has hit the market for £2,300,000 less than a year after it was won. Chris Milnes, a 60-year-old father-of-three from West Yorkshire, took home the grand prize in the Dorset House Draw in June 2024, securing a luxurious five-bedroom home in Wimborne alongside £100,000 in cash.

Though it was originally valued at £2,500,000 by Omaze, the rainforest-themed property – surrounded by greenery and located just 40 minutes from the New Forest – has now been listed at £200,000 less. When Chris won, he hadn’t told his family that he’d entered the draw – naturally, they were ‘speechless.’.

Having spent most of his childhood in a council flat in Leeds, Chris intended to sell up and cash in to unlock a new life as a multi-millionaire. He said he wanted to give his ‘children the start in life I never had.’. The family spent time in the home, enjoying all it had to offer over the Christmas period, before sticking the for sale sign outside.
