Mum-of-three Hannah Drury scooped the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw - a secluded mansion in the Lake District

Primary school teacher Hannah Drury, 42, scooped the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw - a secluded mansion in the Lake District at Coniston Water. Opera-singer Hannah won the keys to the waterside home worth £4 million along with £250,000 in cash.

Hannah is also a trained operatic soprano, who has sung lead roles in over 25 operas nationwide. Her husband of ten years Rupert, 49, is also a music teacher at a local secondary school - and an operatic tenor. An elated Hannah said: "I got a random call on Friday night saying I’d won something from Omaze, at first I just assumed it was a friend winding us up, then when I didn't recognise the voice I thought that maybe we'd scoop a little bit of cash or something.

"Our daughter came downstairs the morning after and said she’d dreamt someone had given us a big house, we told her that on this occasion her dream had come true! We’ve barely slept, we had butterflies all weekend. "I’m also a doula, but on this occasion it’s Omaze that has delivered! We’ll definitely enjoy the house as a family for a while. I've got a feeling we’re going to be very popular this year—our phones won’t stop ringing!

"Our children’s future is secure no matter what, and they can live lives that are rich in experiences, it's a wonderful feeling." As well as making Hannah a multimillionaire, the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, the Lake District, raised £5,250,000 for Age UK—Omaze’s biggest ever raise for a charity partner. The Omaze partnership was backed by radio presenter and Age UK Ambassador, Ken Bruce who said he couldn’t believe the “terrific” amount of money raised and that it will make “such a huge difference” to the people Age UK support.
