An NHS nurse and foster mum has become the proud owner of an incredible home in the Lake District worth £3 million - which she won with just a £20 raffle ticket. Catherine Carwardine, 59, entered Omaze's million pound house draw on Valentines Day in a bid to bag the fully-furnished residence in Bowness-On-Windermere, using a promotional code to submit 120 entries.
Catherine found out she had won the beautiful six-bed lodge on April Fools Day, and thought it was a prank her kids were playing on her and husband Chris But when she realised it was a dream come true, Catherine, who is now a multi-millionaire, says she was "gobsmacked."
The spectacular home sits in Bowness-On-Windermere and has breath-taking views over Lake Windermere, the largest natural lake in England.
