Wrexham nurse wins £114k McLaren in online competition {{favouriteCount}}

Maria Angelica Signey, from Wrexham, was left stunned after winning a McLaren 720S through leading dream car competition company BOTB.

The emotional moment came when BOTB presenter Christian Williams turned up at her doorstep to deliver the surprising news - shortly after Maria had returned home from a busy shift.

“I know you!” Maria gasped as she opened the door, instantly recognising Christian from the BOTB videos she’d watched online.

Christian then revealed her jaw-dropping prize, which was parked nearby and is capable of 0-60mph in just 2.8 seconds, powered by a monstrous twin-turbocharged V8 engine.

Maria, a single mum who only passed her driving test last month, was visibly emotional as she saw the car for the first time.

Though she loved the car, Maria plans to take the cash alternative and use the life-changing money to help her son through university and support her family back home.

“This will make such a huge difference to our lives,” she said. “I will not only be able to support my son’s university journey, but I’ll also share some of the prize with my family. That means the world to me.”

Christian said: “Maria was completely overwhelmed – and rightly so! The McLaren 720S is one of the most powerful and luxurious cars out there,” he said.

“To be able to deliver this news to someone who’s worked so hard looking after others is incredibly special. The car sounds absolutely insane, but what’s even more powerful is the impact this win will have on Maria and her family.”

Leading car competitions company BOTB hands over the keys to a stunning dream car each week, as well as offering lifestyle prizes.

It also offers people the chance to win a holiday, cash, tech, cars and more in its Instant Wins Competition.

Founded by William Hindmarch in 1999, BOTB has given away £92.8m-worth of cars so far.

“Back in February, I saw some of the winner videos and thought, ‘Why not give it a try?’ Now it’s a little tradition for me to play each month after payday,” Maria added.
