A Good Thing: Marin Dream House Raffle!

For the Winners List: Click here!


UPDATE 2/3/08:
The raffle has ended - the drawing will be February 9th - Can't wait to see who wins!! I'll post a link to the winner's list after the 9th - hope your name is on it! (And mine too)...looks like Mount Madonna School just started another Dream House Raffle...check it out here!

Hmmm...would I take the 2 million dollar dream house high on a hill in Marin, or the 1.7 million dollars in cash? That's a tough one. I'll let you know after I win.


I've been having trouble falling asleep lately because of this question. One day, you send in $150 check to the Dream House Raffle office for Community Action Marin, the next day, you've won over a million bucks! Now that sounds good!


Sounds too good to be true...but for once, it isn't! Mount Madonna School had a Dream House raffle in 2007 that went very well and the list of winners is posted on the website. I even know a couple of people who won some cash! There are several Dream House raffles held all over the country. This really is good - and true!

What's more, the number of tickets sold is limited! This is good because no matter what, my chances of winning a great prize are guaranteed to be at least 1:100, and of winning the Grand Prize is at least 1:35,000. All in all, that's good odds right there!

The tickets are only on sale for another week - or until they sell out - which is soon, from what I hear. Details on buying tickets can be found here. The Grand Prize Drawing is on February 9th, 2008. Just think...on February 9th, you or I could become a millionaire...that sounds really good!

Oh - one last thing - not only is this a good thing for the winners, it's a great thing for the non-profit organizations that put the raffles on...last year, Mount Madonna School gained $1 million! That's a big chunk of money for a non-profit...so the moral of the story is...EVERYONE WINS!!
