A former milkman says he can barely believe his luck after winning a £4m mansion and £250,000 cash in a prize draw.
David Roper, 58, from Rotherham, found out he had won the six-bedroom home in Surrey - complete with a heated outdoor pool and tennis court - at the end of a busy week at work.
He said he had been busy " thinking about getting to the pub for 5pm and a nice cold pint of Guinness" when the call came to tell him he had won the house in the Omaze draw.
"I wasn't sure I hadn't just dreamt the whole thing, it felt so surreal I couldn't believe it myself," said Roper, who admitted his new home was "quite the upgrade" from his current bungalow.
Roper, who lives with his wife, Janny, 44, and their border collie Rosie, four, said: "I've never won anything before in my life. I suppose I've just been saving it all up for this."
He said he was in such disbelief that he did not even buy a round of drinks for the other customers, when he eventually made it to the pub four hours later than scheduled.
"I'll definitely get a round in now I've seen the place for myself and know it's 100% real," he said.
