Laguna Beach Home or $1 Million?
Winner of the 6th Annual
Laguna Beach Home Raffle gets to choose.One lucky winner for the 6th year
in a row will decide home or cash
DANA POINT, CA, October 6, 2010 – The final deadline for the Ocean
Institute’s Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle is 2 weeks away, on Wednesday,
October 20. So far, 14,000
tickets totaling $2.1 million have been sold. Greg Goggin, developer of the raffle, commented, “Home
raffle ticket sales are tracking almost identical to last year as buyers
recognize this is a chance for them to win either $1 million or a home in
Laguna Beach when their ticket is chosen.”
In 2009, Eric & Paige Gage of Valley
Village were the winners and selected the $1 million dollar cash prize. The Ocean Institute is one of the few
raffles in the state that has awarded the grand prize every year; and is likely
to be the only one in the state to give away its advertised grand prize
in 2010, reported Goggin. “In the
rules of every California Raffle we’re aware of you must sell a minimum number
of tickets. Ours is 15,000 and
it’s a number we can hit. Consumers need to review the rules of the raffles they’re interested in
and know the minimum number of tickets that must be sold for the grand prize to
be awarded.”
Tickets are $150 each, a maximum 20,000 tickets
will be sold. In addition to the
grand prize, there are over 400 cash and merchandise prizes including bonus
drawings for multiple ticket purchasers. The Grand Prize drawing will be
held at noon on Saturday, November 6 at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point.
“The home raffle has produced hundreds of winners
while raising funds that benefits the 110,000 school
children the Ocean Institute serves every year,” Goggin commented. To purchase a ticket
