Luke’s story… After The Win…

It was March 2024 and had been a crazy weekend for Luke and his friends. They had enjoyed (probably too much!) a stag weekend in Prague and had just touched down in the UK. They were travelling home by car, tired and hungover,  when Luke received a call from Dan Osborne. After a chat with a bemused Luke, Dan told him he’d won an incredible £40,000 in our online draw!

Too good to be true?

Luke’s first reaction was one of disbelief: “I’d completely forgotten I’d entered it!” Luke explained, “I couldn’t believe it and just sat there stunned for a minute or two, and then it clicked”. At that point he didn’t remember he’d even entered a competition online to win cash.  He’d entered and must have put it to the back of his mind.

Even after the call, his friends were still convinced it wasn’t genuine. They immediately started doing research saying “It’s a scam.” However, in great Prize Paradise fashion, the  money was in Luke’s account within half an hour! “I was so impressed! I was glad I got it on the way home from the stag do, not the way there!” he laughed.

Life-changing sum

So with his winnings safely intact (and not spent in Prague!), Luke decided to do something life-changing with them. “My win massively impacted my life in a great way. I was at the time working two jobs to try and save enough money for a deposit on a house. That win put me forward in life by at least five or six years.” So, simply entering a Prize Paradise online draw changed Luke’s life forever. Luke admits that having that money suddenly in his bank was briefly tempting to maybe buy a flash car. But he decided to use it to make his life better in the long term. “I had it in my mind that that’s what I was saving up for, that’s what I’m working towards”.

This is the sort of story that we love at Paradise HQ. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Genuine online competitions really can – and do – change lives. Take it from Luke: “Within a month or two I had a mortgage advisor on the phone.” He says:  “and now here I am sitting in my new place.”

Prize Paradise is legit

Luke is quick to admit that with so many scammers around, he was reluctant to take part in any online cash draws at first. “It’s difficult to know which ones are trustworthy.

 “A co-worker had won £20,000 on Prize Paradise a couple of months previously and she encouraged me to play.” His colleague’s win had reassured Luke that Prize Paradise is genuine, but he didn’t expect to win quite so quickly! “It was such a strange coincidence. She only lived 10 minutes away from me at the time.” It just goes to show the legitimacy of Prize Paradise competitions and online raffle. Literally anybody who enters can come away with a big cash prize: “I didn’t expect to win at first. I only bought about 10 tickets so it didn’t cost me much, and it has helped me out massively. I’d recommend Prize Paradise competitions to anyone.”
