David Perry just alerted me on raffle the city’s 2nd Annual Yerba Buena Center for the Arts “Dream House Raffle”.

Basically each raffle ticket is $150 and odds of winning something (even if not the house itself) is 100 to 1. Not bad odds at all when you consider you can have a chance of winning your dream home.

This is the definition of a ‘win win,” says Kenneth J. Foster, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Executive Director. “Last year’s raffle raised more than a million dollars to support the world-class art and artists for which Yerba Buena Center has become internationally known. And, of course, one lucky person walked away a lot happier and richer.”

This year’s luxurious “Dream House” – located in the upscale Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco – is valued at $3 million. A $150 raffle ticket buys a chance to win the 3,000 square foot Arts and Crafts home. The Grand Prize winner chooses either the Dream House or $1.5 million in cash. Close to 400 other prizes are also available, guaranteeing that every ticket buyers has a 1 in 100 chance of winning a prize.

You can buy raffle tickets on March 3rd, in just 4 days at SFRaffle.com.

I think I will buy a ticket myself, I don’t have a house yet and our family needs one.
