Mary Dickson almost missed the call that would change her life. When the Omaze phone rang, she answered after realizing the number was legitimate, only to be greeted by a field of horses before the true prize was unveiled.
The prize—a four‑bedroom, mortgage‑free mansion on the Lizard Peninsula—offers panoramic sea views, a heated pool, and a swim‑up bar. The property sits a short walk from Porthbeer Cove, and the couple will receive £250,000 in cash and £200,000 in furnishings.
Dickson and her 76‑year‑old husband, John, have lived in a terrace house in Castle Douglas since 2000. They retired from long careers in engineering and IT, and now plan to host Christmas in the new home, hoping to bring their extended family together.
Omaze will cover stamp duty and legal fees, and the couple is arranging a celebratory outing to a local pub. They expect to finalize the ownership paperwork next week, after which they will make the move.
