Hannah Symes, 31, had never heard of Omaze until Jo Booth, a £2.5 million house winner, checked into the hotel where she worked. After hearing Jo’s story, Hannah entered the competition that same day—two months later, she won £500,000.
The life-changing win came just before her birthday. She used the money to clear debts and is now buying a home for her family. Hannah, who shares five children with her partner Rob, called it “the best tip I’ve ever had.”

00:00I still can't believe I've won half a million pounds.
00:09Funny enough, I never even heard of Omaze
00:12until the lovely Jo who won one of your houses
00:14came to stay at the hotel that I worked at.
00:17When I checked her in, I asked her what brought her here
00:19and she said that she won a two and a half million pound Omaze house
00:24and that was when I asked her what Omaze was.
00:27It was the best question I ever asked.
00:30After she told me, I went and Googled Omaze
00:33and I signed up that same day.
00:36Within a couple of months, Omaze called me.
00:39That was when I was told I've won half a million pounds.
00:43I was in that much shock that I literally didn't even know
00:46what the numbers were.
00:47My colleague had to write the numbers down on a bit of paper
00:50and just slide it in.
00:52I was like, oh my goodness.
00:55You've won a town!
00:58Congratulations.
00:59A town.
01:01Cheers.
01:02Now I can't thank you enough for telling me.
01:05I've never ever heard of it until I met you.
01:07I think everybody's rubbing up against me now
01:09going please pass on the luck.
01:11I can safely say you getting me to enter Omaze
01:14was the best tip I've ever had.
01:16I'm so glad I said it.
01:18The morning I found out I was actually pricing up Legoland
01:21to take my son for his birthday.
01:23With it being so expensive, I didn't end up booking it.
01:26I was so disheartened.
01:28Now we've already been to Legoland
01:30and the next part is to buy our own land.
01:33We're looking forward to having more space
01:35and we might be able to get some privacy
01:37for the first time in 10 years.
01:39If it can happen to us, it can happen to you.
01:42So get entering.
01:43Cheers.
