Unlike entering a competition like the National Lottery, there are no rollovers when purchasing online raffle tickets. That means if you have a ticket to win a house or a car, you really are in with a shout of winning.
As your social media feeds can probably attest, online raffles have grown in popularity in recent years, and with that increased demand the range of prizes available to win has also broadened.
How ‘life-changing’ these prizes are, is in the eyes of the beholder. After all, there must be a reason why people buy online raffle tickets to win a state-of-the-art vacuum cleaner.

Finding your dream home in online raffles

For many, entering an online raffle competition, a “win your dream home”, is the best and most enjoyable way to imagine your new life, changed by a whimsical moment and a ‘what if I win?’ impulse purchase.
We all like to dream, but what if the ‘God of the online raffles’ decides that today is your lucky day? Deep down you know you want to be holding the golden ticket to the big value win a home raffle and not the robotic cocktail maker.
When it comes to your dream home, chances are none of the live house online raffle competitions float your boat 100%. Sure, they are all very nice, but you wanted a yacht right? Well, this is why Raffle House offers customers the chance to choose between the house or cash. That way you don’t have to move, change job, make new friends or live in a modern, Scandi glass box or red brick turn of the last century monstrosity. You choose. Perhaps you already live in your perfect home; winning the cash means you can finally do the extension, all of it.

What is the life impact for an online raffle ticket winner?

As with houses where there is no such thing as the perfect home for everyone (sorry Barratt Homes), winning an online raffle is a dial mover, game changer, or just very welcome, and hopefully these five ideas resonates with a good number of readers:
  1. No more rent, no more mortgages – not only do you not have to pay £1,000s a year to retain the privilege of living in your home. You could even go a step further, rent your place out, quit your job and live off the income.
  2. Asset not liability – for the first time your home is no longer a financial liability, but an asset which likely retains or grows its value. This can provide a lovely nest egg in the future when you choose to ‘rightsize’ (move to a property more befitting your age) in your latter years, releasing equity to enjoy with your family and friends.
  3. Money makes money – with more cash at your disposal, you have the option to borrow more and invest wisely, perhaps starting your own property portfolio and so the virtuous cycle begins. Hello Candy brothers!
  4. Start your own company – either borrowing against the house itself or taking the prize as cash, you now have the financial means and time to develop your own business. No longer must you work for The Man. Instead, you have the freedom and backing to go your own way.
  5. De-stress – how much of life is the big rat race with status symbol success to drive us forward? Well, no longer for the holder of the winning online raffle tickets. For the first time, the choice really is yours to live life as you see fit. Sure, we all need a purpose but that doesn’t mean battling through a 9 to 5…. unless you love it. Either way, it’s happy days
