Just admit it, we’ve all fantasised at some point about an Omaze house. Whether you’ve seen the advert on daytime TV or gazed at the posters on your commute to work, we’ve all imagined how our lives would be improved by a sweeping gravel driveway, wood-beamed ceilings and scenic views.

Every month, Omaze offers out a new property which you can win by entering a prize draw, with each home seemingly more grand and luxurious than the rest. From country estates in Devon to this month’s stunning villa in Mallorca, every competition to win a house has the opportunity to change someone’s life. Plus, you can also come out of the draw with additional prizes, like a bonus pot of money or a new car worth six figures.

But, aside from fabulous houses and shiny cars, what exactly is Omaze? And more importantly, how does it work?

We wouldn’t blame you if looking at one of those adverts triggers a small voice in the back of your head saying “it’s too good to be true”. But we’re here to set you right and explain to you just how this organisation is able to offer out such incredible prizes and still donate to charity.

Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about Omaze, including what it does, what you can win and how to enter the monthly Prize Draws. It may seem far-fetched now, but trust us, once you’re done reading, you’ll realise that there's no trick or catch, only a once in a lifetime opportunity to win big.

What is Omaze?

Omaze

Omaze is an entertainment company with a social purpose, which partners with some of Britain’s biggest charities to create monthly prize draws.

The organisation first launched in the US in 2012 after its co-founders sought to create a new fundraising platform through which both participants and charities could benefit more. Omaze crossed the pond to the UK in 2020, offering luxury houses as their Grand Prize.

Under their “win:win” approach, participants enter the draw for a chance to win a multi-million pound house. Winners are randomly selected from all the entrants and a minimum of £1 million is then donated to the draw’s charity partner. Since launching in the UK in 2020, Omaze has raised millions for some of the UK’s best loved charities, including Cancer Research UK, the NSPCC, the British Heart Foundation and the RSPCA.

How does Omaze work?

Every month, the company offers up a new multi-million pound house as their Grand Prize. The house comes mortgage-free, with all legal fees and stamp duty covered. Furnishings are included, along with a cash bonus of £100,000 to help with running costs and maintenance. From these entries, Omaze will then make a minimum donation of £1 million to their charity partner

For participants entering the draw, their purchase generates a unique entry code which will be put in a database; this means the more entries you buy, the more times your code will appear in the database. Then, at the end of the month, the winner will be drawn using a randomised draw engine, and the grand prize will be theirs.

What charities do Omaze work with?

Omaze works with a number of the UK’s leading charities, such as the RNLI, Teenage Cancer Trust, The Prince’s Trust, the NSPCC, Dogs Trust, and more.

Each Grand Prize draw sees substantial amounts being raised for much-loved charities. Since its UK launch in 2020, Omaze has raised over £25 million, including £2.1 million for Marie Curie, £3 million for the British Heart foundation and £1 million for the RSPCA.

For its most recent draw, Omaze is partnering with Alzheimer's Research UK and has guaranteed a minimum donation of £1 million.

What can you win in the Omaze draw?

The Omaze Million Pound House Draw guarantees one person winning a multi-million pound house every month, along with the chance to win early bird prizes for entering early. The monthly Grand Prize includes a luxury house in a desirable UK location, additional furnishings, and a cash bonus to help with running costs and maintenance. The winner is free to either live in the house, rent it out for a supplementary income or sell it to become a cash multi-millionaire.

Recent examples include a Chelsea townhouse worth an unbelievable £5 million and a huge manor in Somerset with no stamp duty, mortgage or conveyancing fees to pay. Plus, the grand prize winner got an extra £100,000 in cash.

But that’s not all. Even if you miss out on the Grand Prize you can still come out with a win, as every month you can enter early to be included in the Early Bird prize draw, which will normally be for an incredible six-figure item. In November, the Early Bird prize was a McLaren Artura supercar worth over £180,000 and last month's was a staggering £250,000 in cash. And, last but not least, up to 10,000 entries will still get a secondary prize in the form of £10 or £20 gift card prizes to use at selected retailers.
