You mentioned you entered it back in February: http://win-house.co.uk/property-competitions/closed/2009/197-win-a-cabin.html I was wondering, why don't more people just partner up with charities in the uk, is that legal? in the us they seem to do it a lot successfully: http://winahouseraffles.com/blog/organizing-house-raffles/30-house-raffle-brings-charity-back-into-profit.html I wish someone could clarify what can be done and if regulated people could do this properly - with a charity if need be Sandy,
