Win $1 Million or a Laguna Beach Home! – Ocean Institute Begins its 7th Home Raffle
Tickets are on sale now for the Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle, which benefits the Ocean Institute. Ticket buyers will have the chance to win a beautiful Laguna Beach home or the alternate prize of $1 million in cash. The home has whitewater ocean views and is a short walk to the beach, hiking trails, shops and restaurants.
The Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle is the most successful home raffle in California, awarding a home or $1 million every year from 2005-2010. Last year, it was the only home raffle in Southern California to award the Grand Prize as advertised. Andy Martin & Patricia Coleman (father & daughter) of Yorba Linda were the happy winners and took home the Grand Prize of $1 million cash.
Tickets are $150 and only 20,000 tickets will be sold. In addition to the Grand Prize, there will be over $235,000 additional cash and merchandise prizes awarded. Deadline to enter the first Early Bird drawing is August 17. Don’t miss out on the chance to win extra prizes and still qualify for the Grand Prize drawing held this fall at the Ocean Institute. Bonus multi-ticket drawings will also be held for those who purchase more than one ticket with luxury prizes to be awarded, including three Prius cars, vacations near (Montage Laguna) and far (Galapagos, Fiji), South Coast Plaza shopping sprees and lots of cash.
“The home raffle has produced hundreds of happy winners in the past six years, and has raised crucial funding that benefits the more than 100,000 school children whom the Ocean Institute serves every year,” remarked Greg Goggin, developer of the raffle.
To purchase one or more tickets and for information on the raffle, please call (949) 542-3600 or visit www.ocean-institute.org. The 2011 Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle is registered with the California Attorney General’s Office.
