Los Altos Home Raffle – benefits InnVision
InnVision Multi-Million Dollar
Home Raffle
InnVision Announces an innovative way to offset State and Local government slashes to human services funding. InnVision invites you to help homeless families and individuals in need – and buy a chance to WIN one of these fabulous prizes:
Grand Prize
A $3.0 Million Home located in prestigious Los Altos Hills, CA
or $1.5 million in CASH. The winner can choose.
Wow. Anyone know what the scoop is on this house? Why is it available for a raffle? I mean, it’s obvious that this Real Bay Area resident is showing his true Real Bay Area spirit by giving back to the community – but… uh… really. What’s going on? Why not incorporate and rent this out for $10,000 a month, and pipe the profits back to the charity? WWMFD? (What would Milton Friedman Do?)
Aside from that, if you won, which would you choose? $3 million in instant equity? Or $1.5 in American Pesos?

The owner gets at least half of the raffle money.
Not all the proceeds go to the homeless.

10% of the proceeds go to the homeless if you’re lucky. More like 1%
The homeless are a real cash cow, if they weren’t they’d be quietly provided cheap housing and basic jobs and be allowed to become people again.

Has anyone heard about Mega House Raffle? It seems great and was on TV. I would like to know if anyone has bought a ticket.
