A couple in Casey, IL are raffling off their house! After trying unsuccessfully for 2 years to sell their house they decided to go a more unorthodox route.
They are selling chances to win their house (which is VERY nice) at $100 each. Not a bad investment for what you can win!Visit their website here www.winmycaseyhouse.com for all the details.

I saw this story on the news. If they don't sell 1200 tickets at $100 each then they will have a 50/50 drawing. The couple and their kids had outgrown the house and bought another one in the country. With the crap economy they can't sell it and can't really afford to pay 2 mortgages. Cool idea!
That house is gorgeous on the inside!!!
Evan thinks it's a little shady. Although, maybe we could buy a ticket and win it. Is there anything exciting for me to do in Casey???
Ashley,
I think it is on the up and up. Read the details on the website.
A vaca home for $100?? Not bad!
I can think of plenty of fun stuff we could do with that house ;)
If you read the fine print, you have to pay taxes on that. It is like winning the lottery. So anyone got an extra 30k laying around to pay taxes(Evan i am sure you do)? Because obviously, you wouldn't be able to sell it.
But I still think it is a cool idea, especially if they just had a 50/50, then you would immediately have the cash to pay the taxes on the money you win.
