How you could win a 4-bed house worth £600,000 with a £5 ticket
The Northamptonshire home is being raffled off to sell the property and raise funds for charity, and tickets to enter cost the same price as a McDonald's meal
YOU could become the next owner of a four-bed-house in Northamptonshire worth £600,000 for only a fiver - but there's a catch. You've got to win it first.
The home is being offered as a competition prize to sell the house and raise funds for charity in the process, and tickets cost the same price as a McDonald's meal.
The house in Abington Park Crescent has been listed on , and it has recently had the kitchen revamped with heated floors.
There's also a study, utility room and a private garden around the back. There's a train station nearby with good train links to London and Birmingham.
Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it? So how does it work?
The owner, Marty Pumbien, says he's selling the house via a competition in order to raise money for Dementia research at the University of Northamptonshire, but that's not where all of the funds are going.
Raffling off property is more common than you might think, especially as stagnating house prices mean that some homeowners are struggling to sell.
Marie Segar, 50, won an £845,000 country mansion after spending £2 in the raffle for it. She never moved in but rents it out for £1,500 a month instead.
There's another house for sale via a competition and it's worth £2.3million - and it costs just £10.50 to enter.
