A trip to the dentist usually isn't all that much fun, especially when you need to have a tooth removed! That is unless you are this week's Lifestyle winner Vernon Hall from Derbyshire. While waiting for his dentist to open this morning he received a video call from Christian revealing that he had bagged himself a mouth-watering £15,000 cash! With his wedding anniversary coming up and his daughter starting driving lessons, we're sure the extra cash will come in handy – congrats Vernon!
A further 20 correct answers have been drawn as runners-up, each receiving £20 Dream Car Credit.

The tooth fairy came early for a Chesterfield man who won £15,000 while waiting for an appointment at the dentist.
Vernon Hall was waiting for his dentist to remove his broken tooth when he received a call from BOTB, who run lifestyle competitions.
Presenter Christian Williams was tasked with breaking the good news.
“I’m actually at the dentist waiting for my tooth to be pulled, but I think you’re going to brighten my day a little bit,” was Vernon’s initial reaction on the call.
Vernon, who usually enters BOTB’s iPhone competition, said he was glad to have upped the prize value.
“We’ve been together for thirty years, married twenty this year, so maybe we’ll make that special,” he said.
“Oh, and maybe a new tooth."
BOTB presenter Christian Williams said: “What better way to brighten up someone’s day.
"Vernon seemed like such a great guy and a worthy winner. Hopefully, his visit to the dentist wasn’t too awful and he enjoys his windfall.”

I couldn't believe it when I received a video call from Christian to tell me I'd won the lifestyle competition. I was speechless - we all think that things like this don't happen to people like us, but they really do! I recognised him immediately and guessed he was going to share some good news with me and then I saw the giant cheque. I thought "That will never fit through my letterbox!" My wife thought I was joking until I sent her the video link!
The team at BOTB were very professional and efficient - the prize money was transferred the same day. I enter every week for the fun of it and the 'what if' factor. If you are any bit cynical about this competition; don't be - it's genuine. Winning is a fantastic feeling, I still can't believe it. Thank you to everyone at BOTB.
