A Chance to Win a Dream House
In April 2020, Omaze launched in the UK, offering a Million Pound House in Cheshire to a guaranteed winner for the first time ever. We also gave away £1,000 in cash every week in the run up to the Grand Prize Draw, as well as two MINI Electric Cooper S’s, a Tesla Model 3, a £10,000 Tech Hamper along with £10,000 in cash. And the best part? We donated 80% of the net proceeds from the draw to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Ian G. from Lincolnshire won our Grand Prize. Ian is a dad of three who sadly lost his wife, Julie, to cancer. Ian paid just £10 to purchase 15 entries to the draw. He said, “Since my wife died, we’ve basically been in limbo. The house has been falling down around us. We’ve just been trying to hold each other together. My dream when entering the draw was to get away from here for a fresh start and it’s happened. I still can’t get my head around it.” Watch Ian’s reaction as we surprised him with the news.

Although we had guaranteed a minimum donation of £70,000 to Teenage Cancer Trust, with your help, we actually raised an incredible quarter of a million pounds, along with the benefit of the increased awareness that our campaign brought to the charity. And that's not all. Our £250,000 donation was just the first instalment of our guarantee to donate £1,000,000 to Teenage Cancer Trust over the next three years.
