Who wants to be a millionaire...

During the summer we heard the story of a Brit in Australia who sold his entire expat lifestyle, including home, car, an introduction to his friends, and a chance to take over his job!

Well perhaps expats are becoming more creative. The problem facing many people is that it is not easy to sell a house in these more difficult times but we now hear of a British couple in Spain who have come up with a fascinating idea - to run a competition to win their property. Well, this is not totally unique but in this case the package not only includes their home (which they say is worth £ 1m) but also their business, "The Wild Wild West" tourist attraction, which they value at a further £ 4m - and they are even including their Harley Davison motorcycle!

The attraction of this combination of home and business is that the lucky winner should have both a home and a ready-made income.

In fact, the owners have a target of selling 200,000 tickets - and at £ 25 per ticket, an interesting chance for someone to become very wealthy when the draw is made in early January! Apparently if the target number of tickets is not sold, then the winner will receive the money taken up to that date. Anyone wanting to find out more can see the full details and conditions on their web site...
