I won a brand new Porsche worth £100k for just £10 – but I’m going to get rid of it for a Ford Fiesta

A LEARNER driver has won a brand new Porsche worth more than £100,000 in a prize draw but intends to sell it to get a Ford Fiesta.

Phoebe Kneller, 23, from Salisbury, won the flashy Porsche Taycan 4S as an “Early Bird Prize” after paying £10 for a ticket in a recent Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

Phoebe is set to take her first driving test later this month and the electric super-saloon will be her first car.

She declared the day she won as the “best day” of her life because as well as winning the car she also found out she had landed her dream job as a healthcare assistant.

Phoebe left her receptionist job in March and had gone on holiday with her boyfriend Josh, 25, while she waited to hear if she had got the job at a hospital.

On the day she had got the call telling her she had won the enviable motor, she and Josh had just left the hotel in Tenerife as they had woken up to a cockroach.

Phoebe said “it was a pretty terrible start to the day, but winning a £100,000 car was quite the turn around to say the least”. 

The Taycan’s twin electric motors produce an impressive 530PS and a whopping 640Nm of torque – which power the four-wheel drive vehicle to be able to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in four seconds.

Its high-tech battery means drivers can travel more than 250 miles on a single charge.

The eco-friendly car is also exempt from road tax.

A stunned Phoebe said: “When I found out I’d won, I was actually in a bit of a grump.

“On the day I got the call from Omaze we were in the middle of moving hotels, as we’d woken up with an unwanted guest in our room, a massive cockroach.

“Just after Omaze called, I also found out I'd got the job I'd applied for - it really was the best day of my life.

“The car is absolutely stunning, although I won’t be taking it for a spin as I don’t have a driving licence.
