  • He commemorated the win with an Omaze logo tattoo.
  • He celebrated modestly then got 'hammered' at a family BBQ the next day.

" He was filmed when the Omaze team surprised him. Williams went to his daughter's to tell her in person, had one beer to celebrate, then went home alone to process the news. " Williams is a father-of-three with children aged 27 to 36 and a grandfather-of-one with another grandchild expected.

Born in Slough, he has lived in the South West for over 50 years. His specific plans for the prize money remain unknown.
