A grandmother has won a stunning £3.5 million Cotswolds mansion in a prize draw – after buying a ticket for £10.

Susan Havenhand, 71, originally from Sussex, scooped the incredible prize after entering the Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

The former secondary school teacher and her husband John, 70, share daughters Harriet, 42, Kate, 39, and Polly, 36 – as well as 10 young grandchildren.

Susan, who now lives in Somerset, bought her winning entry on the last day of the Omaze draw after seeing an advert on the television late that evening on 5 June – and was stunned to receive the news she had won.

The 10,000 sq ft, six-bedroom house comes fully furnished and includes a state-of-the-art kitchen, heated outdoor pool, a sauna, gym, cinema room, tennis court, and en suite bathrooms.

There are just under two acres of outdoor space, complete with a pond, waterfall and private woodland.

The property is surrounded by glorious countryside, with the nature reserve Leckhampton Hill and Charlton Kings Common in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a stone’s throw away.

The opulent home has been built using local stone and timber to ensure it sits well within the local environment, having been designed with the Cotswolds topography in mind.

The house comes fully furnished, mortgage free and all stamp duty and legal fees are covered.

Susan will also be given £50,000 cash to help her settle in, and is free to either live in the house, rent it out or sell it.

A film crew arrived at Susan’s home to share the good news but they were away in France and struggled to take in the news.

The stunned winner said: “When we first got the call from Omaze to say we’d won, my husband was convinced it was an elaborate hoax, in fact he was so sure he told me to hang up and come to the local bar with him instead!

“I left it for an hour or so, but once I spoke with our daughter, Harriet, who was at home with all the film crew, I finally realised this is actually genuine.

“I was absolutely stunned, I went straight to the bar to celebrate with John, who still couldn’t quite believe it. We bought everyone there drinks all night, as we can definitely afford it now.

“We’ve worked in education for a combined 80 years, so this is really going to help us enjoy our retirement.

“We have 10 beautiful young grandchildren who will absolutely adore this house – they all love tennis too, so we’ll be hosting our very own Wimbledon championships this summer!

“We thought people never actually win these things, and even though we’re at the house now, it still feels like we’re dreaming, we keep waiting to wake up. It just goes to show you’ve got to be in it to win it.

“Thanks to Omaze, we can probably get a new car – our current one is 22 years old and has 160K miles on the clock.

“I’m so glad I entered as I’m a big supporter of the RSPCA – so even if I hadn't won, I was still helping to raise money for a fantastic cause.”

As well as making its grand prize winner a multi-millionaire, the draw will also support the RSPCA – with the campaign netting the charity £1 million.

Chris Sherwood, the RSPCA’s Chief Executive, said: “Partnering with Omaze has given our supporters a fantastic opportunity to help us change the lives of animals, and in doing so be in with a unique chance to change their own lives by winning an amazing home.”

James Oakes SVP International at Omaze said: “We’re delighted that Susan has won her dream home - and was able to contribute to this fantastic £1,000,000 raise for the RSPCA in the process.”

This was the eighth Omaze Million-Pound House Draw in the UK and brings the total raised for good causes to £5,750,000.

The latest property up for grabs is a four-bedroom, £3 million home in Cornwall, which will raise funds for Blood Cancer UK. The draw closes on 31 July for online entries, and 2 August for postal entries.
