Win Fellows Hall - worth £600,000
A family not far from me in Ingleby Barwick, Stockton are giving people the chance to win their £600,000 house by entering into a raffle, with tickets selling for £25 each.

BTW this isn’t the first time this has been done. A competition recently ended to win Oldborough Retreat. They sold 46,000 tickets at £25 a go, netting them £1.15m!

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.

Love the idea of this especially since it’s local but I didn’t like the ‘if we don’t sell £600000 worth of tickets we wont give you your money back’ clause.

That sounds great, but these competitions are not always legal. I can’t say this is not, but I remember a case in Spain (where I live) that a guy did the same, but he got owned by the treasury (tax office?)

Hmmm it would be nice to win but the house is awful! No privacy whatsoever. You can almost smell your nextdoor neighbours!

£25.00 an entry. £5 goes to charity (Good idea … fair enough), £2 over and above covers Paypal Cost (Paypal would only charge under 70p if they took more than £15K per month on a business account) and £5 covers admin costs (presumably not going into the prize pot if they do not meet the reserve)
Sounds like a nice little earner to me.
