Win a Devon property with fishing
Brian and Wendy Wilshaw are hoping to give away their property (valued at £1 million - currently over $2 million) by selling 46,000 tickets at £25 ($50 equivalent) each. After trying to sell it for months the normal way, the couple decided to give this method a try instead. Situated in Devon (UK), the five-bedroom property (called "Oldborough Retreat") is ideal for fishing enthusiasts and comes with 4 two-bedroom wooden lodges, 11.5 acres of woodland paddock and 2-acre lake. Suffice it to say it is an excellent prize for anyone who enjoys the countryside, fishing in Devon and generally relaxing in the country!

Brian and Wendy Wilshaw were interviewed on TV by the BBC on 26 August 2008 to talk about their special competition, you can see the full interview on the BBC website. You can also find coverage of the story on the Sky website, amongst many others, as the story has been well received by the media.

 

Players must answer a simple question: What is the price of an adult full season coarse fishing licence for 2008/2009? (hint: click on the link to find the answer!) 

 

The competition opened in June 2008 and closes on 7 December 2008 - or as soon as the 46,000 tickets are sold. Players must be aged 18 or over to enter the competition. Towards the end of their August 26 interview on the BBC, Brian and Wendy Wilshaw mention that they have already sold around 1/3 of tickets (some 14,000). Let's hope they reach the magic number! If for some reason the full number of tickets isn't reached, the winner will receive a cash prize instead.

 

For all of you wanting to enter the competition directly, here is the Oldborough Retreat website homepage, good luck!
