“I’ve been an Omaze subscriber for a while. I know I’ve entered every draw automatically, so I don’t keep track of all the houses each time.
“I had no clue what we’d won at first. We thought maybe it was a little holiday to Cornwall or a few hundred pounds.
“We didn’t think for one minute that we’d won a £3million pound house there – things like this just don’t happen to people like us.”
Gran-of-four Rose told how she retired after 17 years juggling her role as a sales assistant with a second job as a primary school dinner lady.
