Asda worker bags £160,000 Maserati supercar in latest Omaze prize draw

A worker at Asda has bagged a £160,000 Maserati in the latest Omaze prize draw. 

Jasper Hemsworth, 21, will be swapping the shopping trolley for a 199mph supercar after he won the 'Early Bird Prize' in an Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

The Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo has a Twin-turbo 3.0 V6 engine which uses Formula 1-derived technology and can reach 0-60mph in a speedy 3.5 seconds.

Mr Hemsworth bagged the luxury car for just £20 when he entered as part of his Omaze subscription.

Upon finding out about his lucky draw Mr Hemsworth joked that his new car 'might look a little out of place in the Asda car park.'

An elated Mr Hemsworth said: 'When Omaze called to tell me I'd won the car, I was surprised and dubious in equal measure, but once it started to sink in, I knew I was going to have to keep it, it's just so beautiful and well made, a real delight to own.

'I didn't actually have time to celebrate as I had a shift at Asda starting in an hour.

Luckily he already has a driving license having passed his driving test two years ago.

His currently drives a Seat Mii which he paid for £6,000. The pint-sized hatchback takes over 14 seconds to reach 60mph and has a top speed of just 99mph.

He said: 'I won't be taking my new car to work as a Maserati might look a little out of place in the Asda car park! So I'll be keeping my trusty little Seat Mii.

'I've never driven anything like a Maserati before. My dad is a big petrol head and can't wait to have a go in it. I want to keep it for special occasions and road trips abroad across Europe with my family. We will do a proper grand tour in it as that's what it's made for after all!'

The 21-year-old, who still lives at home with his parents, says he might sell the car one day to put towards a home of his own but admitted this won't be anytime soon.

James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: 'Everyone at Omaze is over the moon for Jasper.

'He's won his dream car and is looking forward to taking the road trip of a lifetime with his family. Not only did he win our Early Bird Prize, he also contributed to the incredible £4,000,000 raised for London's Air Ambulance Charity.

'We're tremendously proud that the Omaze community has already raised over £56 million for good causes across the UK.'
