A fortunate man from Perth has struck gold for the second time in an online luxury car competition. Former firefighter, Chris Phillips, recently clinched a BMW AutoID M2 valued at nearly £90,000 in the Dream Car Competition run by BOTB. This win comes after Chris famously secured a £200,000 Lamborghini Huracan Evo along with a £20,000 cash prize in the same competition five years ago.
Chris expressed his elation at winning again, describing it as a life-changing experience. He credited his success to being an active participant in such competitions, emphasizing the thrill of emerging victorious. To celebrate his previous win five years ago, the BOTB team went all out, treating Chris to a luxurious night in a London hotel before whisking him away by helicopter to Goodwood Motor Circuit for the grand reveal of his new car.
This time, Chris received the good news through a video call with BOTB presenter Christian Williams, who masterfully disguised the call as a casual catch-up. Along with surprising Chris with his sleek BMW, Christian also disclosed that there was £50,000 stashed in the car’s boot. Chris shared his excitement, reminiscing about the unforgettable experience of winning the Lamborghini in the past.
The BMW AutoID M2 boasts impressive features, including an i6 Turbo engine, 454bhp, and a top speed of 155mph. Chris, who also owns a property in Spain, plans to utilise the cash prize for indulgent purchases and treating his family to a vacation in Spain. Christian praised Chris for his win, highlighting his genuine joy and anticipation for the car’s delivery.
BOTB, a leading provider of car competitions, awards a dream car and lifestyle prize weekly through its interactive spot-the-ball game. Participants purchase tickets for their desired cars, and a panel of judges determines the winner. Chris’s remarkable win serves as a testament to the accessibility of such competitions and the thrill of winning big.
