MrsM Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Just spotted this on Faceache https://www.facebook.com/groups/davejellybeancanalforum/permalink/5639063396146162/ https://raffall.com/313198/enter-raffle-to-win-57ft-narrowboat-freyja-hosted-by-luke-williamson Entry is £10 a go. Max tickets sold 7000. Goodness knows what the boat is actually worth but it's quite a fun idea and apparently common in other countries.

Rob-M Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm sure it is worth more than £10 but possibly not £70000. And if they don't sell the 7000 tickets they keep the boat and 25% of the ticket sales and give you £7.50 back. So could be a nice little earner.

sueb Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Don't you need a license before you can run a raffle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that legal? (Can't see the Facebook content so taking the quote as it stands. Guess it might cost them something to process the refunds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, wouldn't trust it or touch it with the bargepole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
