House Raffle Alerts: 2009 Palm Springs Dream Home Raffle in California
Another house raffle in sunny California! The 2009 Palms Springs Dream Home raffle is being held by DesertArc, an organization founded in 1959 “to enhance the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities”.
Tickets are $150 and they are selling no more than 18,000 tickets. Here’s something I haven’t seen before: Multi-ticket discounts are available. A pack of 3 tickets costs $400 (save $50) and a pack of 10 tickets is $1,250 (save $250). Prizes include a $1.2 million dollar house (or $1,000,000) and numerous cash prizes.
There are still 2 Early Bird drawings before the final drawing event on Saturday, April 18, 2009. Early Bird drawing ticket purchase deadlines are Tuesday, February 3 for a Smart Car (or $10,000) and Tuesday, February 24 for $10,000.
The grand prize is a 3,000+ square foot home in a 242-acre La Quinta community developed on the late Merv Griffin’s estate. If you’re a golf lover, you’ll want to read about the community and surrounding area’s 20 golf courses and garage parking for your cars and your golf cart. See house pictures and a full description »
Also, there are additional drawings for those who bought multiple tickets and Refer-A-Friend program participants. Read more on the prizes and rules »
A few important things about this house raffle:
- There will be a 50/50 raffle held for the net proceeds if the ticket sales goal is not met
- Up to 3 people may buy a ticket together and have all their names on the ticket
- Tickets must be purchased by mail, fax or phone…no online method. Credit cards are accepted
