Can anyone see where the Ts and Cs specify how many tickets need to be sold for the house to actually be given away?

It says:
If the target value as stated in the terms and conditions is not met by the competition deadline, the competition promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize with a cash alternative which will be equal to the total amount of payments received minus reasonable administrative costs, not to exceed 30% of net payments received.

But doesn't specify what the target value is....

the house was for sale recently for c£500,000 so I imagine they are looking for at least 200,000 tickets sold to match that price but they also need to cover expenses so probably another 50,000 tickets on top of that.

oswaldquackington

hi
Do we have to put our personal details on the back of the envelope or can we put them INSIDE the sealed envelope?

Stemma

Confirmation of how many tickets need to be sold -

Since launching in March, around 100,000 tickets have been sold – from around 25 countries.

The cap is set at 500,000 tickets before the planned draw next March.

This says you can enter via 1st class stamp. Is there any reason why it states 1st class stamp, can you not send it via 2nd class?

susanthunt

I am new to this and have the same question as Boom Boom - but since it says only one entry per envelope, I figure it probably goes inside?

susanthunt

oops - sorry it wasn't Boom_Boom's question - it was Oswaldquackington.
