ExiledInIllinois Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Exactly. Also, not a new concept. In Northern Ca. And Monterey county it happened a few times during the 80's. Home sales were stagnet because of the insane high interest rates. Slick mass mail outs and a minimum amount of tickets had to be sold to hold the lottery. Thus, guaranteeing the minimum Sales price the " auctioneers" would accept. IIRC Tickets were $150 each. The odds while not great certainly but Beat out a lotto tickets odds. The concept never took off. This went on for a year or two. these were high end property's... Isn't this type of lottery illegal in the US?

Beef Jerky Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Call me when three maids, your cook and the guy who takes care of the dive shop call in sick or quit. Dream jobs turn into nightmares real quick. **** happens, plan accordingly. Welcome to the world of everywhere.

Chef Jim Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 **** happens, plan accordingly. Welcome to the world of everywhere. Sure **** happens I'm specifically talking about labor. Someone doesn't show up you may find yourself pulling double/triple duty. And personally I have no desire to go back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Isn't this type of lottery illegal in the US? IDK back then it couldn't have been. They would have a slick one page sheet in the SF Chronicle in the Sunday supplements section advertising it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 That would be absolutely the last thing I'd want at this stage of my life. Most people if they "won" that resort would be putting it up for sale in 6 months. Actually that's what I'd like do. Win it and turn right around and sell it.
