Mr. Callaghan initially thought the email announcing his win was spam, saying, "When I first saw the email from Omaze... my instinct was to delete it as I thought it was spam." His disbelief grew as he realized he had won two luxury cars, stating, "I was absolutely flabbergasted when they told me I'd won not one but two Porsches." As an HGV driver accustomed to a limited top speed, he remarked on the stark contrast, emphasizing his excitement even in recovery from surgery.
Despite recent health challenges, Mr. Callaghan's upbeat attitude about his win is clear. He joyfully stated, "I've only just recovered from an emergency appendicitis operation... nothing makes you feel better than winning two Porsches, I can tell you." This newfound luck comes after years of difficulties, and he humorously remarked, "I reckon I'm due a bit of luck, and I reckon my luck has finally come in." His story reflects resilience in the face of adversity.
Living in a rented flat and previously driving a Ford C-Max, Mr. Callaghan faced significant challenges with new ULEZ restrictions affecting his mobility. He candidly shared, "I've been wanting to upgrade my old Ford... that's been a real pain so I'm delighted I've got no such issues with these two." This win not only uplifts him financially but also alleviates the logistical constraints faced due to the compliance mandates.
His winning entry was surprisingly affordable, costing only £35. Mr. Callaghan noted, "The draw he entered raised £3,500,000 for suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably - CALM." This highlights not only his personal luck but also the significant contribution his participation made towards a worthy cause, blending personal joy with charitable impact in the community.
