A free ticket has landed one dad from Norwich a £15,000 cash prize and a Formula car driving experience.
Karl Green, 44, won the prize in BOTB's weekly Lifestyle Competition after entering for free, thanks to a promotional email.
The father-of-four was at work when BOTB presenter Christian Williams surprised him with the news via a video call.
Mr Green said: "You're joking."
Still in disbelief the following day, he said: "I've watched videos of others winning and you always think how you would react, but never really expect it to happen to you.
"It's the first time I've won anything like that, so it was a weird feeling when I found out.
"The money will enable us to do things we might not have been able to do otherwise.
"My wife will probably find something to spend it on, she keeps banging on about the bathroom being done."
Mr Green, who works at a builders’ merchant, said the family is also planning a holiday.
BOTB presenter Mr Williams said: "To win £15,000 is brilliant on its own, but when you add in a Formula car driving experience for four, it's a really special prize package.
"The driving experience is going to be an incredible day out.
"There's nothing quite like getting behind the wheel of a Formula race car and experiencing that speed and adrenaline for yourself, so I'm sure Karl and his guests are going to have an unforgettable time.
"The fact he entered using a free ticket makes the win even sweeter.
"It just goes to show that you never know what's going to happen when you enter."
Founded in 1999, BOTB has given away prizes to more than 637,000 people, including £155m-worth of cars so far.
