NHS Paramedic Wins £4 Million Smart Home in Omaze Draw
An NHS paramedic from Surrey has won a stunning £4 million smart home in the latest Omaze draw, announced on Halloween night. Alistair Walker, 33, was at home expecting trick-or-treaters when he received the life-changing news. He purchased his winning entry for just £25, marking a moment he described as “the best treat I’ve ever had.”
The luxurious property, set in the picturesque Surrey Hills, boasts four bedrooms, landscaped gardens, a heated outdoor pool, and advanced renewable technology. Walker, who has spent nearly a decade as a paramedic and now works in NHS management, was taken aback by the scale of his winnings. “As a paramedic, I’m pretty good at keeping calm in high-pressure situations – but finding out I’d just won a £4 million mansion completely floored me,” he stated.
Transformative Win for a Dedicated Family
Originally from Surrey, Alistair and his wife, Naomi, an A&E nurse, have two daughters aged four years and five months. The couple has been together for seven years and relocated to Darlington in 2020. Alistair expressed his disbelief and excitement, noting, “We haven’t told the kids it’s actually ours yet – we’ve just said it’s a holiday home for now. We can barely comprehend it ourselves if we’re honest.”
The property comes mortgage-free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered. Additionally, Walker received £250,000 in cash to support his family’s transition into their new home. This level of financial freedom is something they never anticipated. “This win means all the pressure is off us. We can really relax and enjoy spending time together as a young family – it’s so exciting,” he added.
The home’s design is a breathtaking example of modern architecture, featuring a reverse-level layout that maximizes natural light and spacious living areas. The open-plan kitchen and living space are located on the upper floor, while the lower level includes generous bedrooms and a bespoke atrium inspired by Romano-British design. Alistair remarked, “The house is absolutely spectacular in real life – it’s beyond anything we could’ve imagined.”
Impact Beyond the Prize
The Omaze draw not only transformed Walker’s life but also raised significant funds for **Breast Cancer Now**, the UK’s largest dedicated breast cancer organization. The campaign secured £1 million for the charity, which will aid in funding crucial research. According to **Dame Denise Lewis**, an ambassador for the charity and Olympic gold medallist, “It’s truly inspiring that the Omaze Community has raised such an incredible amount to help Breast Cancer Now continue its vital work funding lifesaving research.”
**James Oakes**, President of Omaze, expressed delight for Walker and highlighted the charitable aspect of the draw. “Thanks to the generosity of the Omaze community, this draw has raised £1,000,000 for Breast Cancer Now, helping to fund lifesaving research for people affected by breast cancer,” he stated.
This win marks a new chapter for Alistair Walker and his family and exemplifies the potential impact of charitable initiatives in the UK. The couple plans to create many cherished family memories in their new home, which is surrounded by protected countryside and picturesque villages.
As the community anticipates another draw, the upcoming Omaze Million Pound House Draw in Yorkshire promises to continue this trend of philanthropy and life-changing opportunities.
