Legal Compliance

At our house lottery legal compliance for all buyers of the lottery tickets, for the winner and also for us has utmost priority. That is why we charged a sworn expert with defining the value of our property in a valuation report. Furthermore, we assigned the job of examining the legal position to lawyers and accountants. All of them came to the conclusion that a house lottery, the way we are realising it, is legal.

Without a View to Profit

We chose the option of raffling our house in order to achieve the value estimated by a sworn expert, and not more. The proceeds will not become part of our private means, but will be invested in a social project after having withdrawn all costs (lawyer, trustee, taxes, marketing costs, secured loans).

Warning against Gambling Addiction

For most of us participating in lotteries is a harmless amusement forming part of everyday life. Nevertheless, one can become addicted to it. The consequences of a gambling addiction are serious, like a serious psychic dependency or even a personal downfall. A gambling addiction is almost always accompanied by social and financial problems, familial breakdown and serious self doubts. Hence, a gambling addiction is to be taken seriously in order to avoid a personal and financial downfall at an early stage.

14) Why is the time of registration significant for the participation and not the time of payment?

This is only significant for the last days of lot sale!
In order to guarantee the participation of exactly 21.999 lot buyers, it is necessary to distinguish who belongs to the set of participants and who does not.
