Omaze winner hosts own 'Wimbledon' on new tennis courts at £4 million home

David Roper, a former milkman turned mechanical engineer, won a £4 million luxury home through Omaze, which includes a tennis court and heated swimming pool. The home, located in Surrey, replaces his modest bungalow in Rotherham, Yorkshire. Roper humorously recounted being four hours late to his favorite pub due to disbelief over his winnings, noting that only his dog Rosie knew about his newfound wealth. He plans to host a private 'mini-Wimbledon' tournament on his new tennis courts and has already begun using the home’s amenities, including canceling his gym membership. Roper, who entered Omaze since 2022 for £50, expressed excitement about improving his tennis skills and enjoying his new lifestyle.
