AN Asda worker who won a stunning £160,000 supercar in a £20 prize draw says he won't drive it to his job because of one reason.

Jasper Hemsworth, 21, scooped a Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo as an "Early Bird Prize" in an Omaze Million Pound House Draw.

Its Twin-turbo 3.0 V6 engine uses Formula 1-derived technology and produces an impressive 550PS with a whopping 650Nm of torque.

It helps the rear-wheel drive machine accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds, hit a top speed of 199mph and cover a quarter mile in a little over 11 seconds.

Jasper, who passed his driving test two years ago, currently drives a Seat Mii.

So after finding out he had won, Jasper confessed that his new 199mph speed machine "might look a little out of place in the Asda car park".

An elated Jasper said: "When Omaze called to tell me I'd won the car, I was surprised and dubious in equal measure, but once it started to sink in, I knew I was going to have to keep it, it's just so beautiful and well made, a real delight to own.

"I didn't actually have time to celebrate as I had a shift at Asda starting in an hour.

''I won't be taking my new car to work as a Maserati might look a little out of place in the Asda car park! So I'll be keeping my trusty little Seat Mii."

The ecstatic 21-year-old added: "I've never driven anything like a Maserati before - but I did drive a tank once! I won't be taking this off-road that's for sure!"

The supercar has the trademark Maeserati 'Trident' grille as well as the Trofeo-specific body kit and optional £2,400 carbon fibre rear spoiler.

It comes in 'Grigio Maratea' paintwork, 'Pegaso' forged wheels with a gloss black finish and yellow-painted Brembo brake callipers, that matches the interior stitching.

The car has ample seating for four adults, a generous boot and comes fully specced with all mod cons including a 14-speaker Sonus faber sound system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 360-degree 'surround view' parking cameras, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and many more safety systems.

Jasper, who paid just £20 for his winning entry as part of his Omaze subscription, can enjoy state-of-the-art digital dials with the infotainment and climate functions controlled through the 12.3-inch and 8.8-inch central touchscreens.

He currently works at his local Asda, as well as volunteering at a local primary school, as his dream is to become a teacher one day.

Jasper lives at home with mum Maggie, dad Robert, four rescue dogs, one rescue cat and two rescue donkeys.

He continued: "My Dad is a big petrol head and can't wait to have a go in it. I want to keep it for special occasions and road trips abroad across Europe with my family. We will do a proper grand tour in it as that's what it's made for after all!

"Long-term I might sell it one day and use the money as a deposit for a flat, or something else sensible, but not anytime soon!

"I entered the Omaze Draw as I loved the idea of winning one of the houses - and I also love supporting amazing charities, and I can do both with Omaze."

Jasper's winning entry contributed to the £4,000,000 raised for London's Air Ambulance Charity by Omaze in just six weeks - that helped the charity reach its £15,000,000 target for two brand-new helicopters.

James Oakes, Chief International Officer at Omaze, said: "Everyone at Omaze is over the moon for Jasper.
