A petrol station worker from Oxfordshire has won a £36,000 BMW car.

Ishy Hussain from Banbury won the BMW M2 in BOTB’s Instant Wins Competition this month.

BOTB presenter Christian Williams video called the 21-year-old to find out how he reacted when he found out he had won and to share in his excitement.

“When I received the email, I was scratching my head thinking if I was reading it properly,” he said.

“I dropped my phone and went upstairs and sat in my room for half an hour. It felt like a dream.

“When I told my mum she thought I was lying."

The BMW M2 is a sleek, high-performance machine featuring an i6 Turbo engine, 454bhp, and a top speed of 155mph.

Despite the allure of the sporty car, Ishy is considering taking the cash alternative to put towards buying a more practical vehicle.

“Instead of a perfectly good car just sitting there, I’ll take the cash and put it towards a smaller one I can get insured on more easily,” he added.

Christian said: “A massive congratulations to Ishy, who still seemed in shock when I spoke to him. It’s not every day you receive life-changing news like this.

“Despite falling in love with his prize, Ishy is planning on taking the cash alternative to buy a different car, and we can’t wait to hear what it goes for.”

Founded by William Hindmarch in 1999, BOTB has given away £81m-worth of cars so far.
