I’m assuming the scandal is that I haven’t won yet?

The lottery doesn't credit check you though. I find that very weird when you're paying to buy a ticket for a chance to win.

Does omaze credit check people? 😭😭

Omaze has finally been exposed

Waits for the OP to make their point .... 🥱

Not the shock I thought it was going to be.
If, there’s deemed to be an issue the winner won’t be liable to resolve it
and it’s highly unlikely the swimming pool and outbuildings will be an issue anyway.

Ah, OP

That didnt go to plan did it 🫣

Omaze properties have always had "problems". Not dodgy, but problematic. Under major flight paths, close to cliff erosion, one I know well that's a confusing money pit because of the land. The charity give is decent but if you win, be prepared for what's behind the scenes,

The biggest thing that annoys me about Omaze is the way they keep trying to make out that they - and the entrants - believe that the benefit to whichever charity it is is the best part of it all.

I mean, it's great that a charity can also get a sizeable windfall from the competition (well, depending on which charity); but let's not pretend that anybody is entering with the gain to the charity foremost in their minds! Nor that it's the main reason why Omaze do what they do in the first place!

You could say the same about the National Lottery, though?

Exposed for what @purpleparrotthe

Your post makes no sense

WilfredsPies · 01/03/2025 23:43

🙄 Finally been exposed? Exposed for what? They didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not a scandal and nothing has been exposed, other than some nosy busy body clearly has too much time on their hands. Omaze didn’t build the property and they’re willing to cover the costs of sorting it out so any prize winner isn’t inconvenienced. I won’t be entering because I don’t like the house, but if I did, that would sound pretty fair to me.

If you have a problem with their business practices, then be upfront about it, because this just makes you sound silly.

the most unbelievable thing is a house that size and worth that much money is a 3 bed!?

It seems to come with 58acres? Its the land that bumps the value up, but agree, I’d want to alter the layout somehow to make a 4th bedroom if I won!

This is just someone jealous who had too much time on their hands going over the plans 😭😭😭

NameChanges123 · 01/03/2025 22:57

It's not exactly a scandal, is it! What point are you trying to make?

MyrtleLion · 01/03/2025 22:50

I thought you were going to say that the houses are not actually prizes or the winners were actors.

ByWildLimeCat · 01/03/2025 22:49

Exposed??

Redrosesposies · 01/03/2025 22:49

Exposed as what? It quite clearly states in he article that the winner would not be financially responsible for resolving any planning issues.

MyrtleLion · 01/03/2025 22:49

How is this Omaze's fault exactly?
