Confusing Loophole Leaves Winner Disappointed
A schoolteacher named Loretta recently won a Win My Home competition for a house in Nottingham's Park Estate. However, she was shocked to find out that instead of receiving the £2 million house, she was given just £5,000 due to a "confusing" loophole.
Unclear Prize Announcement
In a video posted by Win My Home, Loretta can be seen receiving the news of her win. A woman arrives at her doorstep with flowers and champagne and announces her as the winner of the Nottingham prize draw. However, the details of her prize were not clarified at that time.
Loophole in Small Print
According to the competition's terms and conditions, if £2.5 million of net sales are not reached, the winner will receive 50 percent of the net proceeds. Unfortunately, the competition organizer made a loss on this occasion and decided to give Loretta £5,000 as a goodwill gesture.
Heartbreak and Disappointment
Upon learning about what had happened, Loretta was left "heartbroken". She had entered the competition with the hopes of providing a better home for her family, who currently live in a council house with "horrible" mould. She expressed her disappointment, saying that £5,000 is not enough to cover even basic expenses like gas and electricity.
Win My Home's Response
The video of Loretta was shared on Win My Home's website, congratulating her on the win. However, the website did not provide any clarification or explanation regarding the change in her prize. HOAR (name of publication) has reached out to Win My Home for further comment.
