Why don't you put aside the money you spend on cigarettes (you are quitting, aren't you?) and use that money every month to buy a raffle ticket to win a beautiful home instead of watching your dollars go up in smoke?. These are the details of one of the raffles I find interesting. How do you win it? Buy a ticket and hope you're having a lucky year.

This absolutely gorgeous home is being raffled off to benefit Ronald McDonald charities of San Diego. The home, located in Encinitas, is less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean.  It has 4,600 square feet and every room in the home in just another "mini-dream.". The Dream House is in close proximity to Del Mar, La Jolla and central San Diego and is an exceptional home in a truly exceptional area. Click on the link below to see the official website and buy a ticket (or two). They are $150 and only 35,000 of them will be sold for the drawing on June 20, 2009.

This great house is valued at almost $2 million dollars, so good luck, and if you win and don't want the house, they'll just give you $1.6 million instead! There are also over 350 other prizes to be won, so why not give it a try? Someone has to win!
