Entering these raffles (usually car competitions or tech/cash bundles) is a guilty pleasure of mine. I try to never spend more than £10 a month though. Can be life changing if you win!
I kept meaning to check this out - see a lot of adverts online about it.
I tend to spend more than that a month on lottery tickets, and the omaze draws seem to not be every month - but every quarter or so (the Cornish house draw wont be until Aug) I might as well take a punt on that instead of lotto for a few weeks (especially as the ridiculously high jackpot from the Euromillions was won earlier this week - so it’s not worth playing for only £14m )
If I did win that house - I hope it comes fully furnished because there’s no way all my furniture would be enough for it though!
Whenever I do entry these sort of competitions/raffles (Autotrader are doing a free raffle for a new car each month atm) I do daydream about what I’d do if I won - would I sell or would I keep it? My head would definitely be saying sell it but my heart would be saying ‘Yes, but it’s so nice…’.
With the house, I’d probably keep it for a month to have a nice holiday in it. And then sell. For £3m you could sell that, buy another home for £1m and still have a very nice amount of cash left over…
i thought about it and IF i did win it id be in the same situation , a nice littler earner for my pension , or sell it , phone my boss and say i dont fee like comming in today , in fact i dont feel like comming in ever again lol
Just looking at the grounds around the house you would need to hire someone to maintain these.
We moved to a house that has a fairly large garden and using a normal lawn mower took hours. So we looked at a ride on mower - some of these cost as much as a small car
Imagine how much the utilities are, council tax etc…
Sell or keep a £3m house is a nice position to be in nonetheless
