“This is magical!” The words of Bulent Altin who has scored an incredible win just before Christmas.
Bulent owns the Star Hot Pizza shop in Flaxley Road in Selby – and it was there that he was told that his life had changed forever.
Representatives from online competition company BOTB called in at the shop to tell him he’d won a £695,000 house in Devon and a £50,000 BMW M4.

And all for the price of a 95p ticket!
Christian Williams and Kate Knight, presenters for BOTB, initially told Bulent that he had won just the BMW M4, which had been parked down the road.
But then they gave him the even more incredible news: the prize also included a brand-new four-bedroom house in the picturesque village of Ipplepen, near Torquay.
“A 95p ticket has changed my life. It’s magical and I’m so, so happy,” Bulent said.
“When I saw Christian I was so shocked and then when he told me about the car and house, I was like wow! It’s a beautiful house and a beautiful area.
“My family and friends are very happy for me and my customers have been coming in and congratulating me.”
The day after the surprise, Bulent and his family travelled to Devon to meet the BOTB team at the property for a full tour. He admitted he hadn’t slept all night after learning the news.
Despite his love for the house and the car, Bulent said he was planning on taking the cash alternative so he can buy a new home closer to his existing house and business.
Christian said: “A huge congratulations to Bulent for winning this amazing prize.
“His reaction was priceless. First he was over the moon with the BMW and then revealing the house on top of that was just incredible.”
Kate said: “Showing Bulent and his family around was really special. You could see how much the win meant to them.
“Whether he chooses to take the house or the cash alternative, this prize is genuinely life-changing.”
BOTB hands over the keys to a dream car each week, as well as offering lifestyle prizes.
It is also now offering people the chance to win a luxury four-bedroom townhouse in Bath worth £1.15 million in a competition costing just £1.
