Continued from Part 1

A limited number of $150 tickets will be sold for a $1.7 million dollar, 4,900 square foot custom Mediterranean Villa situated in beautiful Granite Bay. The grand prize winner may also choose to take home $1.2 million dollars in cash as opposed to the House. The proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California, providing support and housing to families whose children face life-threatening illnesses.

The Grand Prize Drawing for the Raffle will be held on Saturday, May 29, 2010. Tickets will not be sold after May 14, 2010. Tickets may sell out before that time. An independent raffle auditor will supervise the drawing. The drawing for prizes is open to the public, but the winner does not need to be present to win. Tickets are on-sale now and can be purchased by phone, fax or mail. Visit www.sacramentoraffle.com for more information.

Prizes

The Grand Prize is the $1,699,000 House referred to in RMHC-NC Raffle materials. Alternatively, the Grand Prize winner may elect to receive a cash prize of $1,200,000 (except as stated below). The Grand Prize winner must make an election in writing between the House and the cash alternate prize no later than 5:00 p.m. June 4, 2010. A minimum of 28,500 tickets must be sold by 5pm, May 14, 2010, for the Grand Prize winner to have a choice of the House or the $1,200,000 cash alternate prize. If fewer than 28,500 tickets are sold by 5pm Friday May 14, 2010, the Raffle will be held as scheduled, and prizes will be awarded as advertised by RMHC-NC with the exception that the Grand Prize winner will receive a sum equal to 50% of the Net Raffle Proceeds (defined below), not to exceed $1,200,000. Net Raffle Proceeds will be divided equally between RMHC-NC and the Grand Prize Winner based on RMHC-NC accounting, which shall be final and conclusive with respect to the Grand Prize Winner. For these purposes “Net Raffle Proceeds” are defined as the balance of funds left after paying all other prizes, all Raffle expenses and all expenses for the House. At the option of RMHC-NC, the drawing date for the Grand Prize may take place earlier if all Raffle tickets have been sold.

It's raffle season! This house is remarkable, truly -- looks like a palace from the outside. The only debate is whether or not I should enter this raffle or the annual SF dream house one at http://sfraffle.com -- another stupendous property with a very attractive cash prize. The location of the latter one is a bit better, definitely, but this place also looks dreamy.
