The Block’s record-breaking winners Omar and Oz have revealed how they will spend their life-changing $1.6 million in prize money.

The Block’s record-breaking winners Omar and Oz have revealed how they will spend their life-changing $1.6 million in prize money.

The Sydney friends emerged as the winners of The Block’s ‘Treechange’ season, earning by far the biggest win in the show’s near-20-year history with a profit of $1,686,666.66 for their luxe home in Gisborne, country Victoria.

The longtime pals confirmed it would be evenly split, giving them both a staggering profit of more than $843,000.

And the pair told news.com.au that they would be giving some of that money away.

Omar and Oz win The Block

“The cash will go to starting something for to our kids, some for ourselves, and some to charity,” Oz said.

“The more you give, the more you get back.”

The pair’s win was not without controversy.

It came after serial Block bidder Danny Wallis – who ended up buying the three homes that actually sold at auction – became locked in a battle with two other bidders, among them Adrian Portelli.

Portelli made a flashy arrival in a Lamborghini, greeted Omar and Oz with a hug and made some huge bids on their property before Wallis outbid him.

Then he left, leaving viewers questioning why he didn’t stick around to nab a bargain with any of the other homes.

There are also now questions about how well Portelli knew the Block winners, given they were on good enough terms to share a pre-auction high-five.

Speaking to news.com.au, Omar and Oz said they were proud of their win, pointing to several unique features of the property that they say helped it sell for almost $1.5m higher than that of second-place contestants Rachel and Ryan.

Omar and Oz are the biggest Block winners ever.

“We had uninterrupted views of the Macedon Ranges, and a lot of privacy, and one of the bigger pools on The Block – thankfully everything worked in our favour,” said Omar.

Scott Cam was flabbergasted at the incredible first auction result, announcing of the boys’ massive profit: “Someone at Channel 9 is going to lose their job.”

Eccentric multi-millionaire Wallis later even conceded he “probably” overpaid for the property.

“I probably spent too much at the first auction, but was surprised to pick up two more homes at what I feel was a bargain price, so I guess it all evened out in the end for me at least,” Wallis said.
