neeeeeeeeeek Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 i don't see why you feel the need to be awkward, I've already accepted I may have got mixed up. I am still slightly bemused as to why living 10 mins away from Spital Hill would be an issue. There are also some great shops on Spital Hill and in Burngreave. The flat is down by the Riverside where there are hundreds of flats and some great plces to go out, it's also very central to town and a good place to live.

em1977 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't think they did enough advertising personally. I made my decision not to buy a ticket when they took away the counter showing how many had sold - quite clearly not enough. Would be interested to find out how much cash the winner came away with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I've heard a similar story of someone 'selling' their house this way. There have been a few instances throughout the country, although usually it's houses not flats that are being raffled. Some people trying this have run into legal problems though Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
118menu.com Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have seen i lot of these competitions (both for cars + property), if you google around you will see that most don't sell enough tickets to cover the cost of the property. Great idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
