York McDonald’s Break Turns Into £1 Million Omaze Win for West Yorkshire Couple

The tax-free windfall strengthens the family's finances after years of strain.

Overview

  • Rob Nicholson, 69, and Lisa Nicholson, 54, were named the latest Omaze Monthly Millionaire winners, receiving £1 million tax-free.
  • The pair learned of the win in a York McDonald’s while visiting their son at university, initially dismissing repeated calls as spam.
  • They had entered the draw with a £15 ticket and hurried home to meet the Omaze team after answering the call.
  • The couple plan to clear university fees, help their children with housing, support their two autistic sons, and allow Rob to reduce work before retiring.
  • Omaze confirmed the result and says its UK prize draws have raised over £100 million for charity partners since 2020.
