A TYLDESLEY pensioner got the surprise of his life this morning after winning a Range Rover Sport and £10,000 in cash.

William O'Toole, aged 70, of Crawley close entered the Best of the Best- Win a Dream Car Competition.

The father-of-one has been entering the competition for more than three years, on a weekly basis and believed he had struck lucky with a case of champagne.

However this morning, owner of Best of The Best- William Hindmarch, gave him a door knock to remember and presented him with a Range Rover Sport worth £61,000 and £10,000 in cash.

Mr O'Toole, who is a kitchen designer said: "It's fantastic.

"I enter every week and have been doing for a few years now.

"When the door went I was still expecting a case of champagne.

"They fibbed me you see and sent me a text saying they were delivering a case of champagne.

"My wife was elated with that because she loves champagne, it's what she drinks.

"But then I thought why has he come to my door just to give me the champagne.

"It's the most fantastic door knock I have ever received.

"It's unbelievable and just proves that anyone can do it.

"Every time you have a go at this competition you dream that one day you will win it.

"And here I am- it's a dream come true."

Wife Christyne O'Toole, aged 63, who works in the co-op said she "cannot believe it",

She added: "I'm stunned.

"I didn't expect this I was looking forward to my champagne.

"Yesterday he phoned me to say that he hadn't won the car but he has got the champagne and I thought great!!

"My daughter is coming back from Australia for good after five years away so I think we will spend some of the money on treating her.

"I still can't believe it."

BOTB.com, the dream car competitions company, which has a stand at Manchester Airport, gives away a car every week to a lucky winner.

"The door knocks are great fun, they are the best part of the job- every Tuesday we are somewhere in the country knocking on someone's door giving them the most amazing surprise.

"It's a privilege to do it".
