Win a
House Competition Raffle - Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. So why are you selling?
A. We first discovered Bulgaria in 2005 and through the enormous stray dog population here we have come to feel very strongly for the plight of dogs and would like to dedicate our lives to helping them. We
already take in young puppies off the street and re-home them so have therefore decided to
set-up a dog sanctuary and need totally different premises to do that from.
Q. What is the prize?
A - Full ownership of our Ski Chalet near Bansko, Bulgaria together with all furniture, home cinema and soft furnishings.
- A brand new 4x4 Off Road Vehicle (or 2 off-road bikes) waiting for you at the Chalet
- Return flights for 2 from nearest airport to Bulgaria including transfers to Bansko to pick up the keys to your fabulous prizes at a Champagne Reception. Guided tour of ski resort plus a holiday activity of your choice - choose from skiing, horse riding, quad biking, wolf/bear watching, guided hikes, guided mountain biking or jeep safari (all choices are time of year dependent).
Q. Where is the house that I can win?
A: Our Chalet is in the village of Bachevo near the world class ski resort of Bansko in Bulgaria.
Q. How do I claim it?
A: Once contacted as the winner you will be advised of what is required for the transfer of ownership of the house.
Q. Do I have to have the house? Can I take cash?
A: No, the house and associated prizes are the only prize. You can however cede the prizes if you wish.
Q. So what's the catch?
A. There isn’t one. This is a genuine competition where the winner gets to own a stunning luxury
home in a European ski resort and we get the market value for our
house. If not enough tickets are sold
(90,000) and there isn't a winner by the end
of the competition, then the proceeds less our admin costs and charity
pledge becomes the prize and we start ringing estate agents, simple as that. Q. Which charities benefit from your
'win a house' competition?
A: 20% of the profit will go to the well deserving BSAPP (Bulgarian Society for Animal Protection
& Preservation) and the remainder will be used to establish our premises for
a dog sanctuary for stray dogs. Q. Are these the only charities that will benefit?
A: Yes, this is a promotion managed by the owners of the chalet to benefit
BSAPP and the proposed dog sanctuary.
Q. How are the proceeds allocated?
A: Funds will be distributed at the end of the competition.
Q. How do I know the money will reach them?
A: The promotion was designed in order to generate funding to build a dog sanctuary. The promotion is audited by reputable auditors who will ensure full compliance with the promotion rules to ensure that the money is distributed correctly.
Q. Who can enter?
A. The competition is open worldwide to anyone over the age of 18. Unfortunately, employees, directors, partners and agents of the
promotion and their immediate family or any persons directly or indirectly connected with the Competition are not eligible to enter the Competition. Q.
I do not live in the UK, can I still enter?
