The company says it is a licensed 501(c)(3) Charitable and Philanthropic Organization, which has a long and successful history in community affairs. Read the fine print before you send in your hundred dollars.
BTW according to the IRS you cannot deduct the cost of your $100 ticket as a charitable donation.
Don't forget if you win the house or any prizes you still have to pay the taxes on it.

They are legit and have been doing this for 18 years now.
Sheesh, I'm gonna get a ticket for myself...
Did you notice? They have 375 alternate prizes, and are giving out 2,500+ prizes altogether. A 1 in 15 chance of winning something. This is great!

The best way to find out if a company is fraudulent is to contact the Better Business Bureau. Just go to www.bbb.org.
