sure - IF he sells that number - but still, no one has found a case study where the required tickets have been sold to cover the house.

Someone wants to do a raffle on a house, they should not be able to worm out of giving it as a prize just coz they were too inept to sell enough tickets!!!!

It's the keeping 35% to cover costs that worries me, already he stands to make 400grand and still keep the house

I wouldn't even think of buying a ticket.

The whole thing is open to fraud. That means it probably is fraudelent.

Who would have thought that the BBC, ITV &ct would have defrauded the viewing public with their telephone scams? But there was a possibility of a scam, so a scam there was.

im with Hoovie; these pop up all the time; last time i cared to take notice, a guy in leeds was "giving away" his ferrari and posh apartment.... they take a massive cut from the sales to cover costs, keep their pad and the brother in law wins the rest. not bad for creating a website and bit of marketing.

Estate's £1m prize draw delayed

"People who bought raffle tickets to win a house in Devon have been told the prize draw, due to take place later, has been postponed.

Brian and Wendy Wilshaw sold 46,000 tickets costing £25 each for the chance to win their £1m Oldborough Mansion estate near Crediton.

But a message posted on their website informs entrants the draw has been halted by the Gambling Commission

The message informing people the draw had been postponed was posted on Wednesday evening, hours before the draw was due to take place. "

So they apaprently sold £1,150,000 worth of tickets, which is more then the £1,000,000 asking price, which is pretty good.

I am shocked and amazed there are complications now
