Dad nearly lost out winning $2.5M home because he ‘fancied’ a drink at the pub

A lucky dad nearly lost out winning a $2,573,200 (£2M) home – because he “fancied a pint” at the pub.

Tom Steenson, 63, received a knock at the door telling him he’d scooped the four bed house and $321,588.75 (£250K) in cash.

But at first he thought about not answering in case the call would “interfere with my trip to the pub.”
