More exciting news from the world of Raffle Tickets, philanthropy, and self improvement! Today’s story comes from Austria where, after a lifetime of hard work, millionaire Karl Rabeder has decided that his fortune and riches have brought him only misery. In pursuit of true happiness, Rabeder has begun raffling off his worldly possessions, including a mansion in the Alps, a home in Provence, a collection of gliders, and his sports car.
The Alpine villa, appraised at £1.4 million, is to be raffled off, with all proceeds goings towards Mr. Rabeder’s own microlending charities, providing small loans to self-employed people in Central and South America. He hopes to sell almost 22,000 Raffle Tickets, with each ticket selling for the equivalent of £87 a piece. Now that’s a chance worth taking!
Eventually, he hopes to achieve true contentment with nothing, having given away his entire fortune. He plans to live a simple existence, in an isolated mountain cabin or perhaps a bedsit in a small town. Karl Rabeder is one man who has certainly learned the value of giving and the happiness that comes from supporting a meaningful charity!
Raffling off ones home is nothing new, but, in this case, purchasing a Raffle Ticket would have a special meaning, given that the proceeds will all go entirely to worthy causes.
