Confused.com announce £1 million giveaway

Confused.com has announced the winner of its £1 million giveaway

Eve Olive from Hertfordshire thought that somebody was playing a joke on her when she got the call to tell her she was now a millionaire.

The trainee beauty therapist was at college with her friends when she got the call. It was just hours after finding out she had passed all her exams.

"I am not sure what I’ll do with the money yet, but I have always loved horses and now I will be able to buy one of my own, plus a nice big horsebox and all the other extras – I’m so excited," said Eve who was understandably surprised when she heard the news, but soon came round to the idea.

The competition has been running now since Valentines’ day and entrants needed to simply log on to Confused.com and get a quote for car or home insurance to be in with a chance of winning the cash.

“We are delighted to award Eve £1 million and hope that this will give her a wonderful opportunity to indulge her passions, plan for the future and make all her dreams come true! This really is a life-changing amount and we wish her the best of luck in the future,” said Debra Williams, managing director for Confused.com.
