A Merseyside man who 'lost everything' after taking the difficult decision to liquidate his business earlier this year has scooped £250,000 in prize money.
Bernard entered an Omaze draw by buying a £10 raffle ticket, with 80% of the net proceeds from the draw going to The Dog's Trust. The overall winner could become the new owner of a luxury Lake District house, with other prizes on offer.
Bernard was announced as the draw's 'early bird winner', securing £250,000.
