In the wild Block auctions, a couple made history by securing the biggest prize ever seen on the show, while another team left empty-handed. And the surprising actions of ‘Lambo Guy’ will leave you astonished. (Spoiler alert)<\/p>\n

Childhood sweethearts Steph and Gian have proven that nice guys can come first on The Block<\/a>, as the Sydney duo walked away with a remarkable $1.75 million in winnings. Their massive windfall now places them at the top of the list of all-time Block prize winners, surpassing the previous record set by Omar and Oz last year. Their house, which was sold for $5 million in a brief yet dramatic auction, was among three properties purchased by the eccentric billionaire, Adrian Portelli.<\/p>\n

Steph expressed their initial anxiety when they discovered their reserve price was $400,000 higher than others, especially considering their house had the most land. She revealed, “That was so overwhelming for us. We thought there\u2019s no way we can ever do that [sell for more than $3.35 million]. So, we thought, November 4, House Four so [we were hoping for] $4 million. I was manifesting fours, and then he [Portelli] came out with a five!”<\/p>\n
