Overview
- Christian Jones of Teesside was named the latest Omaze Monthly Millionaire winner of £1 million.
- He resigned from his offshore oil rig job immediately after the money reached his account with his boss's blessing.
- Jones had spent almost 20 years working offshore, often away from family for seven months each year.
- Omaze notified the family at their door as they prepared a Thai curry with friends, a visit Jones almost ignored.
- Omaze said its prize draws have raised over £100 million for UK causes, and local reports describe the £1 million prize as tax-free.
