Last Day to Buy Your Ticket

Today is the last day for you to purchase your ticket to the Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle. Have you decided what you would do when you win yet? The home or the cash?

If you have already purchased a ticket earlier in the raffle, you can still purchase an additional ticket today to count for the multi ticket drawing for the Toyota Prius and Dream Vacations.

Today is also the last day to encourage your friends to buy a ticket. Make sure they give us your name so you both are eligible for $10k and a ton of other cool prizes, including an IPad and Wyland Art.

It's really easy to spread the word. Share our links on Facebook. Retweet us on Twitter. Email your friends our website.

This is your best chance to make $1 million before the end of 2010. You can also feel good about your purchase, knowing that it goes to support the 110,000 school children that come through the doors of the Ocean Institute every year.

Give us a call in the office. We'll be here till midnight! 949-542-3600.

Let the count down begin....

Welcome to the Home Raffle

The Next 16 Weeks

I woke up so excited to come to work today! Why would I be excited to return to work after a perfect, long holiday weekend?

(my desk this morning)

Today is the first day of our raffle journey. Over the next 16 weeks here in the office our phones will be so busy ringing that it will resemble the sound of Vegas slot machines. During these phone calls we will be busy selling tickets to people purchasing hope and the opportunity to dream.

While their ticket purchase is really going to the bottom line here at the Ocean Institute, to help us educate, nurture, and inspire kids, the force driving their purchase is the idea of living in a beautiful home in Laguna Beach with white water views. And for some, it’s the idea of having $1 million dollars in the bank to spend on cars, purses, vacations or pay off debt, pay their mortgage and provide for their families. No matter the motivation for the ticket purchase, we can hear the sound of excitement in their voices. We are just as excited to sell them their ticket because we are OI raffle veterans, and we know their hope is REAL.

I look forward to this blog serving as a forum for a discussion of hope and dreams and that we can discuss the prizes and opportunities provided through the raffle.
