An East Lothian man has had the surprise of a lifetime after scooping a brand new £60,000 Porsche and £70,000 in cash.

Stuart Rollo, of Prestonpans, was at work when he was video-called by Christian Williams from online competitions company BOTB to say he had won their dream car competition after paying £2 for a ticket.

He will take home the Porsche Macan GTS worth nearly £60,000 along with the huge cash prize.

Mr Rollo, 51, said: “This is crazy.

“I knew who Christian was as soon as I answered the call - I was just not expecting him to be ringing me.

“I always joke to my partner Suzanne that one day she will get a call from BOTB as she’s my surprise contact. I just can’t believe it’s actually happened.”

Mr Rollo, who works as a health and safety manager at Lothian Buses, said he has played BOTB for years and always wanted this car because it’s big enough for the family, luxurious, powerful and “absolutely stunning.”

He said the extra £70,000 was the “cherry on top” and that it would help his family in what has been a difficult year for everyone with the Covid pandemic.

He has two children, 14-year-old Melissa and 11-year-old Jacob.

Mr Rollo continued: “The kids have always talked about going to America so maybe a big family holiday is on the cards.”

BOTB hands over the keys to two stunning cars each week as well as a lifestyle prize.

Other recent winners have bagged a quad bike, a holiday to Las Vegas and a gaming tech bundle.
