An NHS couple who both work in healthcare have won a £4 million mansion and £250,000 in cash in the latest Omaze draw, transforming their lives overnight. Alistair Walker, a paramedic and NHS manager, and his wife Naomi, an A&E nurse, were stunned when they received the news on Halloween.
Alistair, 33, was at home in Darlington when he heard a knock at the door, expecting trick-or-treaters. Instead, he was told he had won the dream home in the Surrey Hills, a property complete with a heated outdoor pool, gym, and state-of-the-art renewable technology. He had spent just £25 on his winning entry ticket.
The four-bedroom mansion comes mortgage-free with all stamp duty and legal costs covered, plus £160,000 worth of furnishings and £250,000 in cash. The couple, parents to two daughters aged four and five months, met while working for the NHS in Surrey and relocated north in 2020.
Alistair said: 'I was just expecting to see a couple of little Draculas and Frankensteins asking for sweets – but I soon realised this wasn't a trick and it was actually me who would be getting the best treat ever.' He described the house as 'beyond anything we could've imagined' and noted that the win has taken all the pressure off the family.
The property features a reverse-level design with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area on the upper floor, offering panoramic views. The couple have not yet told their children the house is theirs, planning to use it for family time first, and may later rent it out or sell it for a multi-million-pound profit.
