00:00I was having a really boring week until my ears turned up. I got a knock at the door and then

00:10the next thing I know I won a four million pound house. As soon as my dad found out he came round

00:15to my house and we popped open a bottle for a second to celebrate. If you can't have a bottle

00:18of fizz when you've won a four million pound house you can never have one can you? I can't believe

00:22I'm going from a one-bedroom council flat into a four million pound mansion. Not bad for a lad

00:27from home. I used to be a cabbie navigating my way through traffic now all I have to do is

00:31navigating my way to the hot tub. This house is absolutely stunning the kitchen is absolutely

00:36brilliant the whole place seems as bright and airy it's beautiful. This is amazing all I need now is

00:41a nice cold beer. Yeah and talk about sea views if you just look out there it's absolutely wonderful.

00:47Who needs an ensuite bathroom with us out there? They dive straight into the sea. My son loves his

00:51granddad anyway but I think that'll go up another level now. This has changed everything for my

00:55whole family. It's going to be a legacy for them. I'm proud to be a part of the 97 million Amaze

01:01rate for UK charities. The money raised by this amazing partnership really will change lives.

01:10We want to say a huge thank you to the Amaze community. When you're living off a pension you
