Million pound house draw comes to Harrogate
A million pound farmhouse near Harrogate could be won for just £10 in a prize draw.
The American company Omaze today announced the 17th century property between Hampsthwaite and Birstwith, which also comes with a guest cottage, as its latest million pound prize draw.
The draws, which take place every two months, raise money for charities and Omaze keeps 20 per cent of net proceeds. The firm said it has raised £13.25 million for charities since its UK launch in 2020.
Omaze's latest property in Nidderdale, which is its first in the Harrogate district, will generate funds for Blood Cancer UK.

The winner will receive £100,000 in cash as well as the farmhouse, which is estimated to have an annual rental value of almost £50,000.
Blood Cancer UK supporter, Celia Imrie, who starred in the film Calendar Girls, has backed the draw.
She was reunited with original Calendar Girls Tricia Stewart and Lynda Logan, as well as Lynda's husband Terry, the famous calendar’s photographer - to mark the launch of Blood Cancer UK’s latest partnership with Omaze.
The Calendar Girls reunited to support the cause.
The draw closes on July 30 for online entries and August 1 for postal entries.
