Contest Raffle Win your Dream House For Just $100

http://www.houseofyourchoice.org/

What is this website?  A website I found when I was searching on MSN Money researching some stock and this news story was in the real estate section.  Just like the name says, its the house of your choice raffle contest. Its for charity and a good cause. I contacted them personally to verify that they are legit and they sent me their registration info and I have scanned over the fine print of the terms and conditions....

The raffle is $100 and you have a chance to win a dream home valued up to $600,000. Yes, its true and anybody that is reading this HUB needs to enter. $100 is not too much to ask for when it comes to a good cause plus you have a chance to win a house anywhere in the country. Below is my original email and their response. I have permission to reprint this:

you wrote: Is this for real? If so I will make sure I spread the word to my family, and friends and co workers. I
have a small website, and if that is OK I would like to list your info and name on my website if that
is ok. I don\'t get much traffic to my site but anything for a good cause helps. Let me know. I plan
to contact my local newspapers and news channels also. And I plan to buy a $100 raffle!

Yes, we are for real!

Our raffle is registered with the Department of Justice of the State of California. Our raffle registration number is RF0000289. House of Your Choice (HOYC) raffle is unique in that it is designed to cover expenses associated with buying a home. You've probably read of people winning a house, but closing costs and taxes were so expensive that the winner wasn't able to even live in it. HOYC wanted to avoid that possible outcome. HOYC is also proud that the house truly will be your choice in any state within the continental U.S. Thank you for telling your friends and family about this opportunity to win a house! Hope you win!

Odds of winning the Grand Prize depend on number of entries. Assuming 40,000 entries, your chances would be one in 40,000.
