You have a "chance" if you buy a ticket. If there is never going to be a winner, then you never had that "chance" FFS But somebody won. So that argument doesn’t hold water. There was a cash winner. She elected not to have her name publicised. Which is the same as any pools or lottery winner is entitled to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is completely mental in almost every respect and so that’s probably it. Nobody won a house for £20, get over it. That platform is a UK platform used by hundreds of campaigns a month. Nobody seems to complain about any of that, until a house in the IOM is put up and nobody gets a house for £20 - and then the site is attacked and social media melts down. It’s the perfect allegory to explain the total mess the IOM is in. A load of civil servants and other self entitled spongers bleating about not getting something for nothing.

To be honest as each week goes by I’m finding it harder and harder to explain reality to people who live in the IOM. It’s why this place is without doubt irredeemably fucked.

That naivety has been seized upon by the collective mob and seen as a weakness. After that it’s open season day. Genius ! couldn't have said it better!!

hissingsid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I do not think there was any attempt to defraud or mislead it just went horribly wrong. Naive to think they would sell sufficient tickets to equate to the value of the property and very naive not to make sure the draw was done properly with an independent person organising it. I am not surprised people are annoyed at the outcome it was a complete Micky Mouse job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
