BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who surprises the winners each week either in-person or via a video call, said: “A huge congratulations to each and every one of our winners over the years.

“I am extremely fortunate to be there at the moment we surprise each of them. It’s wonderful to witness their incredible reactions and hear what a difference the prizes are going to make to their lives and the people they care about.

“We phone people and travel to surprise them in every part of Britain, so I know there is luck in every region, but you’d expect slightly more luck in London, seeing as it’s the most densely populated city in the UK.

“Our competitions are very easy to enter and I look forward to surprising many more people in the future. Just having a ticket means it could be you next!”

Founded by William Hindmarch in 1999, BOTB has given away £68 million-worth of cars so far in its Dream Car Competition.

In its 48hr Lifestyle Competition, winners have bagged Rolex watches, holidays and cash prizes in recent months.

The competition experts gave away its biggest ever competition giveaway earlier this year, with pizza delivery driver Marius Preda from Tamworth bagging a whopping £500,000 cash prize.
