Just pay the shipping and it's yours for free.

It’s like when rich people give their cleaners and such new cars and then are shocked when they find out they turned around and just sold them - bitch they can’t afford the insurance on those things.

Ahhhhh.....no......think i willl hang on to my $19 and not help this individual stack money which is what this person is doing...where is the proof this person owns that house?...how do i know this is real? People are finding all sorts of ways to make money. Nice try whoever you are.

Oh I like it, the gimmick appeal. And then I’ll promise to pick six random strangers from the voters to live with me, put cameras in every single room, and livestream them 24/7. That might actually win.

Done in the US. 

How about Canadian Tire Money?

Seems like a great idea for a scam... get 68,000 entrants, just so happen to pick the one I chose 6 months ago who will give me a huge kickback. Also I get a massive tax break.

I want it, but I certainly don’t deserve it.

On April first the homeowner will release a statement: Sike!

It’s Alberta! Where you can actually freeze your ears off! No way I’m going there even if it’s free. I have heard so many bad things about it. It’s like when you see a day with sunshine and it’s bearable outside, nobody goes to work.

Isn’t this an AOL chainmail scam from the 90s?

Please have a star.

My letter would be about why I should NOT get the house. I’d start weaving a tale of woe about the taxes and insurance costs and how I’d wind up having to file for bankruptcy and wind up penniless living on the streets in the end.

If the house has been on the market for a while for $1.7 million, and it hasn’t sold, it’s not a $1.7 million house.

Nah, FB already contacted them for you and paid the fee via one of your stored credit cards on file....

Looks like I’m the only cynic in this group. So, if it’s not random, and it’s based on the selection of a letter showing some type of merit, what’s to stop this from becoming an inside job? What about fraud? I feel like an actual random raffle would be a better option to prevent that from happening. (Assuming that…

This is fucking Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory right here folks! I briefly got the exact same feeling while reading the article.

hoping the internet was going to judge the letters. I think I can win by stating I would fill this house up with the optimal amount of hookers, blow and world class DJ then live stream through the homes camera system.
