Raffling My House
 
I am thinking about selling raffle tickets to sell my house what do you all think and can anyone tell me how I would go about this ?
obviously we would need to get the market value so would need to sell enough tickets to cover this but not sure where to start any advice would be welcome,
I have heard this has been done in the past so I am quite curios.

Read this first. I think you will change your mind.

OK, the lesson here is simple and obvious. Don't copy things blindly, but ensure that you understand the procedures involved.

Don't let it put you off. First of all look carefully at the rules and see what it is that determines it to be a raffle, a lottery or whatever.

It's like the TV ones where you ring in to guess the answer.

is two plus two

a) ten
b) seventy one
c) four.

This is the purest b*ll*cks, as everyone knows the answer, but because of the question, it is defined differently under the law.

You could do a similar trick, but please, please learn the lesson that this guy didn't.

No, that's not what I said. It might work really well. Just make sure that you study it properly first and avoid the pitfalls.

The other guy didn't think it thru first.

Think it thru, and you could be onto a winner.
