At just 25 years old, Jensen Barnes from Leeds has won £1.5 MILLION, just months before becoming a dad for the first time.
Jensen was our lucky winner of the £2.1 Million Lytham Dream Home, with the option to take £1.5 million cash instead.
We wanted to make the day extra special for Jensen and his partner Jess, so we picked them up in our CEO Alex's very own Rolls-Royce, with our driver suited and booted to give them the full VIP treatment. Not a bad way to arrive for a house viewing.
And after viewing his prize, he decided to take the cash. The viewing actually fell on Jess's birthday, so it was already a pretty special day for them both!
The couple currently live in a rented two-bedroom terrace in Leeds, and with their first baby, a little boy, due in February, life was already about to change in a big way. Now, thanks to Jensen's win, they've got the opportunity to buy a home of their own and give their little boy the future they've always wanted for him.
Jensen's also planning to get a crash course in driving and buy himself his first car, while Jess has already got her eye on a new mum car!
But one of the biggest things this win means for them isn't about the house or the cars. It's the time they'll get together as a family. When their little boy arrives, they'll both be able to take more time away from work, enjoy those early months together and not have the same financial worries hanging over them.
At 25, Jensen's just secured a future for his family that he and Jess could only have dreamed of before.
We're absolutely made up for you both. What a way to start the next chapter of your lives ❤️
Alex here 👋
I wanted to jump on this morning and talk about the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT because I genuinely think it's one of the best daily drivers on the road.
I absolutely love these. They're a beautiful car, really comfortable to drive and, when you put your foot down, they're an absolute weapon.
And this one looks mint in purple. It's a proper head-turner, and one of those cars that looks even better in the flesh.
If I'm being honest, it's hard to fault. I'd have one on my own driveway all day long.
And tonight, one of you lucky lot is going to get the keys!
Or there's £90,000 tax-free cash if you'd rather take that instead.
We're drawing it at 9pm tonight, so get involved and best of luck everyone. Can't wait to see who bags this one!
LFG!

The car, or £175,000 cash? What would you do? Congrats, Thomas!

We got Bella and Nicole to guess how much the Rolexes were worth.
To put it bluntly, they put Ryan to shame 😂

Part 2 ❤️🏥
After spending nearly £3,500 filling our trolleys with essentials, it was time to deliver everything to Glasgow Children's Hospital and Crossbasket House.
We unloaded the car and donated all the goodies to help support families going through some incredibly difficult times.
We hope these little things can make a big difference and bring some comfort to families when they need it most ❤️

We spent nearly £3,500 filling our trolleys with essentials for families at Glasgow Children’s Hospital.
Baby grows, blankets, nappies, pyjamas and £50 Sainsbury’s vouchers to help families pick up anything else they might need. Everything went to Crossbasket House, which provides free accommodation for families while their children receive hospital treatment.
Because the last thing any parent should have to worry about when their child is in hospital is being able to stay close to them.
We're so pleased we could do our bit to support these families and the incredible work Crossbasket House does.

Alex here (again 😅).
But I had to jump on again because this house competition is SICK!
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the Lake District. Wakeboarding is one of my biggest passions, and there's honestly nowhere I'd rather spend my time than out on the water in Windermere.
So when we started planning our next Dream Home competition, I wanted to do something a little different.
I didn't just want to give someone an unreal house in the Lakes. I wanted to give them everything they'd need to really enjoy living there.
And I think we've absolutely smashed it with this one.
A stunning five-bedroom home in Bowness-on-Windermere, fully furnished, with all legal fees paid.
A MasterCraft XT22 speedboat to get out on the water, a Defender Urban OCTA to explore the Lakes in, AND £100,000 tax-free cash to enjoy it all 🤯
Or the winner can choose £1.4 MILLION in cash instead.
It's genuinely a dream prize bundle for me, and the thought of being able to give this whole lifestyle away to one of you is pretty unbelievable.
When I think back to where Elite started, I never imagined we'd be doing things on this scale. I'm so proud of how far we've come, and it's all thanks to our incredible team and all of you guys who continue to support us.
The competition is NOW LIVE, with tickets just 15p in our launch sale!
Good luck everyone. I can't wait to see who wins this one! 🚤🏡

10 years ago, I raffled my motorbike on Facebook because I wanted to buy a new one.
I never could've imagined where that one competition would take us.
And tonight, we're about to give someone the keys to our £2.1 MILLION Dream Home Bundle in Lytham St Annes. 🏡
We're big on making the winner experience just as special as the prize itself. And you know us, we don't do anything by halves! So we're throwing something extra into the mix. Tomorrow, I'll be sending my Rolls-Royce Cullinan to pick the winner up from their front door and take them to see the house in person.
Honestly, it's moments like this that make me stop and think about how far we've come.
From that first motorbike to giving away dream homes, incredible cars and millions in prizes. It's been a pretty mad journey.
I'm incredibly proud of what we've built, but none of it would be possible without our amazing team and every single person who's supported us along the way. Whether you've been here since the early days or you've only just joined us, thank you.
Tonight, someone's life could change forever. They'll either be getting the keys to an unbelievable home overlooking the sea or walking away with £1.5 MILLION in cash. And I genuinely can't wait to find out who it is.
The competition ends TONIGHT, with tickets from just 19p and the winner drawn LIVE at 9pm. Good luck everyone. Let's make someone very happy tonight!
Alex.

Nearly two years ago, Stephen won £300,000 with us. Safe to say he's been busy since...
Stephen Innocent-White from Kirkham, Lancashire, originally won a villa in Spain back in November 2024, but decided to take the £300,000 cash alternative instead.
Since winning, Stephen and his husband Ryan have bought their dream home and started their own food truck business, Fancy Fries.
But the biggest change of all? They've become dads to their beautiful baby boy, Malachi, who they welcomed through surrogacy in Cyprus 🥹
Stephen says their win gave them the financial freedom to make their dream of becoming parents a reality.
“Winning £300k absolutely changed our lives. We have been able to have a beautiful baby, go on incredible holidays, have a beautiful home, what more do we want?”
We love seeing what our winners get up to after their big win, but this one is particularly special.
Massive congratulations to Stephen and Ryan on their gorgeous little family. And welcome to the world, Malachi!
Big Ry's back with a tour of our £2.1 million Dream Home in Lytham St Annes…
And before anyone says anything, yes, I took my shoes off this time. Had a telling off for that in the past 😂
