Prize draw to win £1.25m West Sussex house extended
Here's how it could be yours for just £2
You'll now have longer to win a £1.25 million four-bedroom home in West Sussex for just £2 as part of a prize draw supporting two local charities.
Peter Pearce, the owner of Painter’s Keep, has extended the deadline for the competition for the building in Goring-by-Sea until November 1st.
It had originally been due to end on Bank Holiday Monday, with the draw itself taking place next Thursday, September 10th.
Now those who want a chance to claim the dream prize, located within the stunning seaside location of East Preston and the exclusive private estate of Kingston Gorse, have until November 1st to get their entries in.
Earlier in the year, Peter decided to sell his home as part of a prize draw to support Arundel-based hospice Chestnut Tree House, which provides care for children and young people, and St Barnabas House, a charity providing palliative care to adults in the Worthing area.
The tickets went on sale on the 20th of July, hoping to raise at least £150,000 for these charities.
With no limit on the number of tickets purchased, the general public also had the opportunity to increase their chance of winning by earning additional ‘free tickets’ and a £10,000 prize, simply by sharing the link they received in their ‘thank you for entering email’.
Peter says: “I decided to launch the once-in-a-lifetime prize draw after seeing a crisis appeal from the hospices earlier this year.
"As we have all experienced, in one form or another, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a hugely detrimental impact, not least to the fund-raising on which charities rely heavily and this was my way of helping to plug that shortfall.
“I’ve been overwhelmed with the response to the prize draw since July and I’m grateful to the general public for buying tickets and referring friends and family members! However, whilst we’ve had great success so far, we haven’t yet sold enough tickets to award the house and I’ve therefore decided to extend the deadline until Midnight on the 1st of November.
"I know that people want the house to be awarded and that’s always been my aim too, so I feel it’s only right to give people that opportunity.
"I won’t extend the closing date again so please buy tickets so that we can raise £150,000 for charity and make someone the new owner of Painter’s Keep. Good luck to everyone!"
The Painter’s Keep draw was due to take place on Thursday the 10th of September, over a live stream on Facebook and Instagram.
Peter planned to announce the winner of the property or the cash prize and the £10,000 referral prize, however, the general public now has an extra eight and a half weeks to enter before the extended closing date.
