When Keith Morris from Tameside won a £17,000 car and a huge £20,000 cash prize, he knew exactly what he was doing with it.
Keith, who lives in Dukinfield, scooped the huge prizes after entering BOTB’s midweek draw, an online competition where you can win a ‘dream’ car.
But when presenter Christian Williams arrived outside his home to inform him he’d won a VW Up! GTi vehicle and the cash, Keith told Christian he had not entered the competition for himself.

He explained how he wanted to give both prizes to his mum Barbara.
“I am delighted,” Keith said.
“My mum had whiplash in an accident and so was after a five-door car as she can’t use a two door, so the VW Up! GTi is perfect for her.
“I bought the tickets for her and was always going to give her the prize – I wanted her to have that bit of luxury and that feel of a new car."
Keith, alongside presenter Christian, surprised Barbara with her wins, who said she was overwhelmed with what her son had done for her.
“I can't believe it,” Barbara said.
When asked if she knew Keith had entered the prize draw, she told Christian: “He just said, ‘oh, I think I've put a competition in and I think you'd like the car’, but I honestly never thought that we would win a car or anything.
“We don't win anything very much - I don't even win a raffle."
"It's just a way to say thank you," Keith said.
He added: "She's supported me throughout and we've had each other's backs, so it’s only right.”
Christian, who surprises winners every week, said he had never seen a prize win like it.
He said: “I have been with BOTB for four years and this is the first time we have had a winner give their entire prize to their mum so it is a lovely story."
