Former builder from Aylesbury Vale wins £82k motorhome in online competition

A retired builder living in Aylesbury Vale was the winner of an online competition for an £82,000 motorhome.

Stephen Doyle, from East Claydon, was the latest winner of the daily BOTB competition.

Stephen Doyle was beaming with joy when BOTB presenter Christian Williams surprised him in person with the news he had won a Knaus motorhome.

“It’s a dream come true,” the Easy Win Competition winner said. “It gives us the freedom to go where we want, when we want.

“We had a caravan before and went to places like Yarmouth - the grandkids loved it. We sold it and were going to replace it, but then Covid hit.”

The 67-year-old added: “I’ve played the competition before on and off and to actually have won feels amazing.”

Christian said: “This motorhome is unbelievable and has everything Andy needs in there to spend days and days away from home.

“I think he was about to paint the chicken shed when I surprised him. I’m pleased to have helped him get out of that.”

Each week the online competition gifts a lucky winner a new vehicle and also runs a lifestyle prize. Previous winnings include: Rolex watches, holidays and motorbikes.

The company, listed on the stock market, was founded by William Hindmarch in 1999 and has given away more than £53 million-worth of cars so far.

Stephen’s reaction was filmed by the competition company and can be found online here.

BOTB first opened at Heathrow Airport in 1999 and is now a London-based company, but its competition is open to people all across the globe.

In 2019 the company celebrated crowning its 500th winner. The company uses former professional footballers to judge the competition independently each week, alongside current and former referees.

To enter contestants must complete a spot the ball game on the company’s app. Once they’ve completed the challenge they are entered into a draw for the big prize. Other contests run by the business require entrants to complete multiple choice questions, before being offered the chance to win prizes.
