I won a dream £4.5m mansion for £25 – here's why I've put it back on market less than three months later | The Sun

A GRANDMA who won a dream £4.5m mansion for £25 has put it back on the market less than three months later.

June Smith, 74, was shocked when she found out she had won the six bedroom, three storey home as part of the Omaze Million Pound prize draw.


She initially said she would keep the house "for a while" but was not sure of her long-term plan.

Now the house on the waterfront near the Cornish town of Fowey has appeared on property website Rightmove.

June wants to sell the luxury pad and use the money to help her children and grandchildren 'with the next chapter in their lives', MailOnline reported.

She said: "I wanted to enjoy at least one family holiday here before I put it on the market.

The newspaper also said that viewings are strictly by appointment only with agent JB Estates.
