Raffle winner could score a dream golf course home in Palm Springs, California

I’ve never been a gambling man.

But this one sounds like it’s worth the gamble … and for a good cause.

The winner of the 2010 Palm Springs Dream Home Raffle™ can choose from a trio of unbelievable prizes - a $575,000 luxury 3-bedroom home on the exclusive Arnold Palmer course at PGA WEST™ in La Quinta, Calif.; a luxury condo at the City Club in Marina Del Rey in southern California or $500,000 cash.

For $100 a ticket, that’s quite a payoff. The raffle benefits DesertArc, a Palm Desert-based nonprofit that has worked for 50 years to enhance the lives of the developmentally disabled.

The La Quinta Grand Prize home is a 3-bedroom, 3 ½-bath 2,400-square-foot luxury home overlooking the sixth tee of the Arnold Palmer course in the Laurels neighborhood at PGA WEST.

The Grand Prize drawing will be held on May 15. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win any of the prizes. Visit www.DesertArc.org if you are feeling lucky.
My advice? I’d take the home on the course and keep it in my pocket until retirement rolled around in another 20 years.
