The Block’s Sharon and Ankur’s $4M home is given away for FREE to a couple in Victoria after it was snapped up by Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli who was accused of ‘dummy bidding’ on Omar and Oz’s winning house
Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra’s home from The Block finally has new owners.
Controversial bidder Adrian Portelli, who snapped up the property back in November, hosted a raffle through his LMCT+ rewards club, where the winner could choose to take the $4.25million mansion or $3million ‘tax free’ cash.
Portelli aka ‘Mr Lambo’, 33, announced the winner on Friday, congratulating Ballarat couple Kevin and Andrea.

‘Meet your Block House winners Kevin and Andrea from Ballarat VIC,’ he captioned a photo of the beaming pair.
‘A $4M home as a result of being a $5 per week member.’
The multimillionaire businessman commented on the post using his personal Instagram, commending Kevin and Andrea for their win.

‘Congratulations to you both. I’m sure that house will be the foundation of many memories to come for you and your family. Well done,’ he wrote.
Portelli announced the raffle late last year through the LMCT+ website, saying it was the ‘biggest ever giveaway’.
He offered four raffle packages which ranged from $20 to $500, giving participants the chance to take the Gisborne home or millions in cash if they won.

It’s unclear which package Kevin and Andrea chose when they entered their names into the draw, but it appears they were already regularly paying members of LMCT+.
Portelli bought Sharon and Ankur’s home after he missed out on buying Omar Slaimankhel and Oz Abu Malik’s record-breaking house.
The flashy businessman helped drive up the price of Omar and Oz’s reno when he went toe-to-toe with Block royalty Danny Wallis.

His aggressive bidding style pushed Wallis into paying an eye-watering $5,666,666.66 for the five-bedroom property, leading to rumours he was a ‘dummy bidder’ in cahoots with the western Sydney mates.
Portelli put his money where his mouth is by splashing out $4.25million on Sharon and Ankur’s house in a post-auction private sale.
It meant the couple, who just days before were facing a major financial loss, pocketed a profit of $170,000.
