It is the biggest ever house prize draw to be offered in the UK, and comes mortgage free with all stamp duty and legal fees covered.
The winner will also be given £100,000 in cash to help them settle into the dreamy abode – and is free to either live in, rent or sell.
If the new owner decides to go down the rental route, local estate agents estimate they could achieve up to £14,000 a week during peak holiday times.
Omaze took to Twitter to urge Brits to check whether they had the winning entry code.
The winner will be announced next week.
Situated in one of the most desirable waterfront locations in the country, the house provides spectacular views along the estuary and the surrounding Cornish countryside.
The property, which comes fully-furnished, is an outstanding example of modern architecture.
Designed by the highly acclaimed West Country architects Harrison Sutton, the use of glass ensures the south west facing estuary views are a key feature throughout the house.

It is finished to an exceptional standard with a layout that has been meticulously designed to provide elegant, spacious areas that seamlessly flow from room-to-room.
The bright and airy entrance hall welcomes visitors inside, with an adjacent home office that provides panoramic views thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides.
The main sitting room forms the heart of the home and also features full-length glass doors that lead onto one of the terraces.
The serene space has a double-sided log fire, a cinema and snug room complete with 85in TV, which also leads out to a patio.
A state-of-the-art kitchen and breakfast room features a central island and glazed sliding doors which open onto a cantilevered balcony.
In addition to the Smallbone units and Sub-Zero appliances, there are two dishwashers, a hot water tap and a Wolf cooker with a Teppanyaki plate and griddle.
A secondary kitchen pantry sits on the other side of the hallway, next to a stylish dining room with ample space for entertaining family and friends.
A striking cantilevered staircase leads up to the first floor, where a large open landing leads to the main bedroom.
As well as a dressing room, there is a luxury en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower.
STUNNING VIEWS
A ground floor bedroom with adjoining bathroom is accessed from the sitting room and also has access to a balcony.
From the sitting room, a secondary staircase leads to a guest bedroom, bathroom and shared balcony.
There are two further bedrooms with en-suite facilities on the first floor.
The lower ground floor boasts a utility room with a back door and playroom area that could be used as a seventh bedroom, again offering views of the estuary.
There is also a hobby room and an area to hang up wetsuits.
A further bedroom with en-suite shower room sits beyond this, along with additional storage space.
If that wasn’t enough, a yoga studio with its own bathroom and private terrace sits at one end of the garden with yet more stunning views.
LUXURY LIVING
The property is accessed via a private drive-through electric gates which lead down to a parking area at the front of the house.
There are further mature gardens – and at the far end there is a seating area that is perfect for taking in the scenery.
To the front of the house, steps lead down to a concrete landing stage that provides direct water access to the property’s own mooring.
The west-facing garden features a patio and lawn area with steps that lead to a parking space off the road at the top.
Fowey is just 200 yards away via ferry or it is a short drive into the town centre.
St Austell and Bodmin, nine and 13 miles respectively, are also nearby and a train into London Paddington takes just under four hours.
The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor activities including sailing, surfing, canoeing, water skiing, windsurfing, gig rowing, cycling and scenic coastal walks.
As well as making its grand prize winner a multi-millionaire – the Cornwall II House Draw is also supporting the end-of-life charity, Marie Curie, helping it provide care and support to people affected by terminal illness.
The money raised will help to fund frontline nursing and hospice care, a free support line and a wealth of information on all aspects of dying, death and bereavement.
