The Rolex Submariner watch was a bonus prize | BOTB Andrew even questioned whether he was still in a dream, as he stood before the gleaming orange Mini Cooper S, one of dozens of cars given away by BOTB every month. He said: "Am I awake? I don't know what to say. "I enter the competition quite a lot, but never thought I was going to win. It shows you've got to be in it to win it. 'It's awesome and the fact it only cost 2p is crazy."
