Bar manager wins £4m historic home, £250,000 cash

Paul Knight, a 47-year-old bar manager from Reading, has won a £4 million country house along with £250,000 in cash through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, discovering the news while sitting on the toilet at work. The six-bedroom property, which dates back to the 1500s and has royal connections, was revealed to him through a surprise visit from the Omaze team. Initially skeptical, he was astonished to learn of his win after purchasing a £20 ticket. Knight shared the news with his partner, Justin Snowdon, who was returning from a flight and initially thought it might be jet lag-induced hallucinations. The couple now faces decisions about whether to move in, rent, or sell the historic home, which comes mortgage-free with all legal fees covered. Knight humorously noted the surreal nature of the moment and the grandness of the property, likening it to something out of a film, though they won't be running around naked as depicted in the movie 'Saltburn.'
