A Leicester resident, Chris Woodgate, experienced a life-changing moment this week when he won a £120,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith through an online competition. After dedicating approximately ten years to playing the “spot the ball” game hosted by BOTB (Best of the Best), Woodgate received an unexpected visit from a film crew delivering the keys to his dream car.
Every Tuesday, coinciding with the announcement of winners, Woodgate ensured he was home, waiting for that significant call. On this occasion, the call came, accompanied by Christian Williams, the competition presenter, who arrived in the luxury vehicle from London. The moment was filled with excitement as Woodgate was led outside to witness the car parked at his doorstep.
BOTB invites players to participate in a weekly challenge, where they must identify the precise location of a missing football in mid-match action. Although the task of pinpointing the correct pixel is notoriously difficult, Woodgate had become skilled at the game over the years. Upon hearing the news of his win, he initially struggled to find words but expressed that he could not resist entering for the Rolls-Royce when he saw it offered as a special opportunity on the BOTB website.
In addition to the luxurious car, Woodgate was also awarded a bonus prize of £40,000 in cash, along with a £5,000 gift intended for car insurance. This meant that a briefcase containing a total of £45,000 in cash awaited him in the boot of the vehicle. “Christmas has come really early, hasn’t it?” exclaimed Woodgate, as the reality of his astonishing prize began to settle in.
While the sight of the Rolls-Royce was overwhelming, Woodgate contemplated the option of a cash alternative, recognizing that such a sum could significantly alter his financial situation. “It would change my life completely,” he noted, reflecting on his current month-to-month living conditions. He also shared that he had postponed necessary dental work due to financial constraints, which had affected his confidence in smiling.
“I’d get my teeth sorted,” he expressed, adding that he also hoped to assist family members with their holiday gifts. Woodgate’s remarkable win highlights the potential for life-altering opportunities through the BOTB competitions, which not only feature luxury cars but also include other enticing prizes. This month, for instance, the company is offering a £1.15 million townhouse in Bath, with ticket prices starting at just 95p.
