Couple that promised private villa to win, doesn't sell enough lottery tickers: winner can whistle to dream home

Mark (61) and Sharon (57) Beresford launched last year a prize draw for their home of over 3 million euro of the hand. The couple sold lottery tickers to 28 euro per piece and the one with the winning lotje would get home. But it turned out differently. There were not enough lottery tickers sold for the value of the house to recover. The winner will get ‘only’ a cash prize of 123.000 euro.

The couple lived almost fifteen years in their spacious villa in the British Hampshire, with six bedrooms, a small cinema and a garden of 10,000 square meters. But because Mark and Sharon closer to family want to live, they decided a few years ago, yet their property to purchase. For two years they tried it through the regular channels of the hand to do, without success. Therefore, they threw it over any other bow. the

In may last year, they put a large-scale raffle on legs and bet their villa. There were 250,000 in lottery tickers have been made available. Who a clasp bought, made not only win the house, but also in a ‘consolation prize’: an Aston Martin DB 11 to the value of 180,000 euro. With the proceeds of the lottery tickers would the Beresfords easy the value of the home should recover, was the underlying idea. This would be a 120,000 lottery tickers to be sold.
