Glasgow man scoops £2.5m country mansion and 100k cash in raffle
13.01.2023 - 12:59 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Glasgow man who has spent years helping disabled people find a home has won a £2.5million country house in a raffle. Grant Carson, 58, scooped the five-bedroom farmhouse after entering the Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

The house comes mortgage free, with all stamp duty and legal fees covered - and delighted Grant has also even been given £100,000 in cash. He has never won anything in his life and was stunned when the Omaze team surprised him at his home in Glasgow to tell him.
He has lived in his current three-bedroom semi-detached house in Glasgow for 17 years. Until last December he worked for a charity in Glasgow for 27 years, helping disabled people with all aspects of life - specialising in employment and accessible housing.
He recently decided to embark on a new career path as a freelance consultant helping organisations to meet the needs of disabled customers. His childhood sweetheart and wife Ruth passed away in 2011 after being together for 25 years - meeting at college when they were both teenagers.
Grant said: "When the Omaze team rang my doorbell I couldn't quite believe it at first. It's not your average Friday night that someone comes to your door and tells you that you've won a £2,500,000 house.
"I've never really won anything before this, but now I might be one of the luckiest men in Scotland. I've just left my old job helping disabled people across Glasgow, which I had done for 27 years, so starting out as a freelance
