But if all that does not take your fancy, the charity draw winner can decide to rent the house out for a supplementary income or sell it whenever they wish to become a cash multi-millionaire.

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Yorkshire, will also raise money for Mencap - a charity supported by former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker.
Mencap supports people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives by supporting them directly and campaigning with them to make communities and society fairer and more inclusive. Around 1.5m people in the UK have a learning disability and on average they die up to 23 years younger than the general population - and many deaths are avoidable.
Only five per cent of people with a learning disability have a job but 86 per cent of people with a learning disability want to work, but just need a bit more support to do so. The money raised from the Omaze partnership will help the charity to fund awareness initiatives to tackle the discrimination that people with a learning disability face every day, breaking down barriers to create a fairer and more inclusive society. Mencap ambassador Jodie said: 'We need a world where people with a learning disability are seen for all that they are and all that they can be.
And Mencap promotes the positive change that is so needed in our society. 'I've supported Mencap for over 12 years and know just how vital their work is. The money raised through Omaze for Mencap will make an enormous difference, supporting their fantastic work advocating for people with a learning disability.
' It is a less exertive collaboration for the star of stage and screen who recalled: 'The last time I was on stage was 12 years ago - I remember so clearly turning up for rehearsals with wobbly legs having just run the London Marathon for Mencap. I’m really excited to be back.' She is performing in The Duchess at the Trafalgar Theatre from October 2024, hopefully more surely of foot.
The Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Yorkshire, will also raise money for Mencap - a charity supported by former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker which supports people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives Mencap ambassador Jodie (seen with campaigns officer Vijay Patel) said: 'We need a world where people with a learning disability are seen for all that they are and all that they can be. And Mencap promotes the positive change that is so needed in our society' Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £1m to the charity regardless of how the draw goes. James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: 'Everyone at Omaze is delighted to be partnering with Mencap for our latest house draw.
'By offering this wonderful house in Yorkshire, along with £250,000 in cash, Omaze is giving people the chance to win a life-changing prize that can enable them to live mortgage or rent free, as well as raising money for charities and introducing its charity partners to new audiences that they wouldn't otherwise reach. 'We're extremely proud that the Omaze community has already raised over £50 million for good causes across the UK.' Jodie Whittaker Share or comment on this article: Six-bedroom £2.
