Glasgow Man Speechless After Scooping £725k Holiday Home and £69k Audi

DORSET, ENGLAND, AUG 1 – William Tombe won a luxury holiday home worth £725,000 and a £69,000 Audi RS6 after buying just a few 99p tickets in a BOTB prize draw, one of their biggest wins.

  • William Tombe, a 63-year-old former Glasgow taxi driver, won a £725,000 holiday home and a £69,000 Audi RS6 from BOTB after entering a 99p draw.
  • William entered the competition hoping to win the car but was surprised to learn he had also won a fully furnished four-bedroom holiday home in the exclusive Silverlake Estate near Dorchester.
  • BOTB presenters surprised William at his Glasgow flat before flying him to Dorset to reveal the Scandinavian-style detached home with £30,000 of interiors and access to spa and lakeside views.
  • William said he initially believed he had won just the car, and upon learning he had actually won a house as well, he was overwhelmed. He intends to either pass the car on to his daughter or accept the cash option to fund a family vacation.
  • William, who can no longer drive after a serious crash over a decade ago, described the prize as life-changing and the event as an unforgettable day full of adrenaline and emotion.
