Hayes Couple Win £4.5M London Townhouse in Draw

Roger Cana, a 37-year-old hospitality worker from Hayes, and his accountant wife Shalini have won a £4.5 million Georgian townhouse in central London through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw after entering with £35. The five-storey, four-bedroom home, formerly Britain's most expensive council house, features an iconic 'Take Courage' ghost sign, an award-winning garden, and views of The Shard. The prize includes £150,000 in furnishings, £250,000 in cash, and covers all legal fees and stamp duty, with the home delivered mortgage-free. The couple, expecting their first child in September, had been saving for a deposit and now plan to raise their baby in the luxury property. The townhouse also offers rental potential of £8,000–£10,000 per month. Roger described the win as life-changing, providing the family with financial security and the chance to build a new life in a prestigious area.
