Or just a clever way to sell a house. I seem to remember a couple of these news stories years ago. I wonder if it's worth a punt...

I guess I could literally work out the odds...

I've read the t&cs and I don't think they'll sell the minimum 500k tickets (at £2 each) but have had a punt for a tenner all the same as if the total amount isn't reached yet essentially raffle what has been raised so seems likely some reasonable odds tbh

I bought mine back in Jan but tempted to get some more closer to the deadline

Interesting, at worst no more tickets are sold from today and you potentially win the prize fund of £350k as it stands.

They can extend end date by 6 months though...

Seen this being done for cars recently on groups etc. Owners usually quids in at the end.

Looking at the property on Google street view, I can not see two dogs tied together although there are plenty of bushes nearby. I would say it's a 50/50 % chance it may be a trap.

You paid a tenner for 5 tickets when for the said tenner you could have paid postage on 15 free entries?
