A Bradford warehouse worker and new dad has bagged the ultimate prize in a dream car competition—an £89k BMW and £50k in cash.
A new dad from Bradford has just had his life changed by winning a prize worth £139,000 on a spot the ball competition.

Zak Burnley won an £89,000 BMW M3 Touring in BOTB’s weekly Dream Car Competition, and the car was delivered with a briefcase containing £50,000 in the boot.

The 30-year-old warehouse operative was at home when BOTB presenters Christian Williams and Katie Knight turned up to deliver the incredible news – a moment he initially mistook for a parcel drop-off.

He said: “I thought it was the Amazon delivery driver. Then I opened the door and was gobsmacked.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever won anything this big, so I’m buzzing.”

The BMW M3 Touring is a high-performance powerhouse, boasting a 3.0-litre i6 twin-turbo engine, 523bhp and a top speed of 155mph.

“The new car ticks all the right boxes,” Zak said. “It’s family-friendly, but also perfect for having a bit of fun in.

"I’ve currently got a BMW and just love driving them – I played for this one as I thought it was a beautiful looking car.”

After being shown the £50,000 cash his girlfriend Gabrielle, who was carrying their daughter, burst into tears.

She said: He's been going to work and working so hard, he deserves this so much.

"We’ll be able to live so much more comfortably now".

Zak explained the winnings will go towards a much-needed family holiday and will help make special occasions like Christmas extra memorable.

He also plans to sell his current BMW to upgrade Gabrielle’s car.

Gabrielle is also a regular BOTB player, and the pair often compare their entries each week to see who came closest.

Christian said: “Zak’s reaction was brilliant – completely speechless at first! The BMW M3 Touring is a stunning, powerful car and a real driver’s dream. I’m thrilled for him.”

Co-presenter Katie added: “It’s such a joy to deliver this kind of news – especially to someone like Zak who’s been playing for a while and just welcomed a new baby. What a time to win!”

BOTB gives away posh cars for peanuts every week, and the latest prize on offer is a McLaren 570GT worth £78,000 - tickets are priced at just 15p.

There's also the chance to win a brand new house worth £725,000 in Dorset for just 99p.
