'I won £4.5m mansion in raffle - now I'm putting it up for sale and this is why'
A grandmother who won a luxury mansion in a £25 raffle has already put the £4.5 million property back on the market.
June Smith, 74, has listed the six-bedroom property for sale in Cornwall just three months after she was handed the keys in May. The widow celebrated the win by popping open a "bottle of red" after telling her grandchildren.
She won the property after taking part in the Omaze Million Pound prize draw. As part of the winnings, it came mortgage free, with all stamp duty and legal fees paid for. June, from Essex, sadly lost her husband Ron after he suffered from a heart attack. She said he would have loved the mansion.

Speaking about her fortune, June said: "Winning this house has been an incredible experience, I still can't believe it all actually happened to me, it still feels so surreal. We all came and stayed together and absolutely love the house and Cornwall - and my six grandchildren have certainly made the most of it.
