As well as making its Grand Prize winner a multi-millionaire – the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Yorkshire – will support Blood Cancer UK.
This is the second time the charity has teamed up with the Omaze. The first partnership, in 2022, raised £1,000,000 funding new research projects into saving the lives of children who, because of the nature of their blood cancer, currently have some of the poorest outcomes.
The latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw will build on this, raising crucial funds to further develop research into hard to treat blood cancers and investigating treatment types that could be more effective and potentially less harmful treatment particularly for younger people.

Omaze has guaranteed a minimum donation of £100,000 and has a target of at least £1,000,000.
The draw is backed by Olivier Award winning actress and Blood Cancer UK supporter, Celia Imrie, who has been involved with the charity since appearing in the film Calendar Girls as Celia – alongside Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Penelope Wilton, and Dame Julie Waters – 20 years ago this September.
The film tells the story about a group of friends from the Women’s Institute inspired to shoot their own Pirelli style nude calendar to raise funds for Blood Cancer UK – after one of them, Angela Baker, tragically lost her husband John to non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in July 1998.
For the first time in 20 years Celia was reunited with original Calendar Girls Tricia Stewart and Lynda Logan as well as Lynda’s husband Terry the famous calendar’s photographer at the Omaze house.
Celia, 70, said: ‘I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Calendar Girls was released. Getting to know the original girls was such a privilege, what they’ve achieved is truly inspirational, I’ve supported Blood Cancer UK ever since I first met them.
‘This second partnership with Omaze is wonderful – the previous draw raised huge awareness and an incredible £1,000,000 for the charity, we’re all hoping this house will do just as well, it’s supporting such an important charity.
‘Blood Cancer UK’s research plays a pivotal role in the battle to beat blood cancer and everyone who enters the draw is helping to support this incredibly worthwhile cause.’
Calendar Girls Tricia and Lynda are delighted the latest Omaze house is in their native Yorkshire.

Lynda joked: ‘Its only 10 minutes away from where I live so I’ll pop round for a cup of sugar.’
