Dunstable worker wins £80k Range Rover with 22p ticket
Warehouse worker wins £80k car with 22p ticket

A warehouse worker from Dunstable experienced a life-changing moment when he was surprised at work with the keys to a brand new £80,000 Range Rover, having spent a mere 22 pence on the winning ticket.

A Tearful Surprise at Work

Daniel Bulai was pulled away from his duties at a distribution centre in Houghton Regis by a film crew from the competition company BOTB. The presenter, Christian Williams, handed him the keys to the luxury vehicle, leaving Daniel emotional and lost for words. "I have no words, no words," he said, overwhelmed by the news. "I cannot describe how I'm feeling."

The Luxury Prize and a Practical Decision

The car won was a top-of-the-range Range Rover D300, featuring a distinctive satin wrap and a cream leather interior. Despite the car's undeniable appeal, Daniel confessed he is seriously considering the cash alternative. His priority is to provide a stable home for his family. "I'm leaning towards the cash alternative," he revealed. "I'd put it down towards a house deposit... I'm renting, so I could get a new house and move my daughter and my missus in. I can't believe it."

How BOTB Competitions Work

BOTB, which stands for Best of the Best, runs regular competitions where participants can win high-value prizes for a small outlay. Their offerings include:

  • Weekly 'spot the ball' contests.
  • Luxury prize draws with tickets costing just a few pence.
At the time of Daniel's win, other prizes up for grabs included a £59,000 Mercedes AMG GT S with tickets at 7p each, and a £695,000 house in Devon raffled for 99p per ticket.

Daniel's story serves as a remarkable example of how a minimal investment can lead to a windfall that has the potential to transform a family's future, turning a dream of homeownership into a tangible reality.
