只要夠幸運 2.5美元換莊園
2.5美元就能得到一座莊園？那豈不是和白送差不多？告訴你，你也有機會(huì )，只要你足夠幸運。如果你花2.5美元（17元人民幣）買(mǎi)了票，而且這座莊園未能在今年八月份前售出，你將有機會(huì )一夜變房主。



After falling on hard times and failing to find a buyer for his home, the owner of this six-bedroom manor house in Lancashire, UK, decided to hold a raffle, inviting people to purchase a ￡2 ticket for the chance to win it. He hopes to sell half a million tickets by August this year.
莊園位于英國的蘭開(kāi)夏郡，內有6間臥室。房間主人在陷入困境、難尋買(mǎi)家之后，決定舉辦有獎義賣(mài)，任何花2英鎊（即17元人民幣）買(mǎi)票參加活動(dòng)的人都有可能贏(yíng)得這座莊園。莊園主人希望在今年八月份之前能賣(mài)出50萬(wàn)張票。

37-year-old Dunstan Lowe purchased Melling Manor in 2011 for ￡435,000, after falling in love with it. He spent a lot of money renovating it, but soon started struggling with mortgage payments, and was forced to put it up for sale just three years later. The first asking price was ￡800,000, but no one was interested. Lowe chose to put off selling it until December of last year, when the mansion was once again offered up, this time for ￡845,000. Again, there were no takers, so the frustrated owner dropped the asking price to ￡650,000, but that didn’t seem to make it more appealing. The house has had just one viewing since, and after looking at his options, Dunstan decided it was time to try a different approach.
37歲的鄧斯坦?勞十分喜歡梅林莊園并在2011年的時(shí)候花43.5萬(wàn)英鎊買(mǎi)下了它。之后他又花大價(jià)錢(qián)翻新重整，但很快就面臨償還房屋貸款的艱難處境，于是僅過(guò)了3年，鄧斯坦就別無(wú)他法只能將其出售。他最開(kāi)始的售價(jià)是80萬(wàn)英鎊，但無(wú)人問(wèn)津。勞決定將其延后到去年12月再出售，要價(jià)84.5萬(wàn)英鎊，可是依然沒(méi)有買(mǎi)家。于是，失望的鄧斯坦把要價(jià)降到65萬(wàn)英鎊，然而這個(gè)價(jià)錢(qián)似乎也沒(méi)有什么吸引力。莊園出售以來(lái)只有一個(gè)人前來(lái)看房，鄧斯坦在思考了自己的處境之后，決定是時(shí)候嘗試一種不同的出售方式了。



After consulting with his wife, Dunstan Lowe made the decision to hold a raffle, offering people the chance to win the house by buying one or multiple ￡2 tickets online, or sending an envelope or postcard via 1st class post. The winner will be selected on August 1st, 2017, and the owner hopes to sell at least 500,000 tickets until then. That may sound like a lot, but he’s actually off to a good start.
與妻子商量之后，鄧斯坦?勞決定舉辦有獎義賣(mài)，參與者只要通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò )或明信片、信件郵遞的方式購買(mǎi)一張或多張價(jià)值2英鎊的票，就有可能贏(yíng)取莊園。大獎得主將在2017年8月1號揭曉，莊園主人希望在此之前能賣(mài)出去至少50萬(wàn)張票。這可能聽(tīng)上去太多了，但鄧斯坦的售票活動(dòng)還真開(kāi)了個(gè)好頭。

In February, Lowe told the Evening Standard that he had already sold ￡120,000 worth of raffle tickets. Within days of setting up a website for the raffle, offers started coming in, and the ample media coverage he got a couple of months ago in the UK got a lot more people interested in his offer.
2月時(shí)，勞告訴《旗幟晚報》說(shuō)，他已經(jīng)賣(mài)出去了總價(jià)值12萬(wàn)英鎊的票。開(kāi)設義賣(mài)網(wǎng)站以來(lái)，參與者不斷增加。幾個(gè)月前英國媒體對鄧斯坦的大量報道也吸引來(lái)了很多感興趣的人。



Dunstan says people from all over the world, including USA and Australia have been buying ￡2 online, with some of them acquiring several thousand pounds worth of them. He and his family hope to sell enough tickets to cover the cost of the six-bedroom mansion as well as the legal fees and any last minute jobs to ensure the house is as perfect as possible for the next owner.
鄧斯坦說(shuō)在網(wǎng)上花2英鎊買(mǎi)票的人來(lái)自世界各地，其中有來(lái)自美國和澳大利亞的，有些人還會(huì )一下買(mǎi)幾千英鎊的門(mén)票。鄧斯坦和他的家人希望能通過(guò)出售足夠多的門(mén)票來(lái)支付當時(shí)買(mǎi)房的錢(qián)、相關(guān)法律費用以及其他一些后期工作的錢(qián)，來(lái)保證這座莊園在轉手給新主人之前盡可能完美。



“It was really out of frustration. The whole process of viewings and offers, it felt antiquated and frustrating so I set up the website and it just took off,” Dunstan said.
“這真的是出于無(wú)奈。老掉牙的看房和賣(mài)房流程令人失望。于是我建立了一個(gè)網(wǎng)站，然后就火了?！编囁固拐f(shuō)道。

“I had been thinking about doing this on and off for a few years now but so far hadn’t acted,” he added. “I knew that people had done this before but had problems, and I needed to make sure everything was above board and legal.”
“我從開(kāi)始思考這件事到現在，斷斷續續的，已經(jīng)有幾年了，但一直都沒(méi)有付諸實(shí)現，”鄧斯坦補充道：“我知道之前有人這么操作過(guò)而且遇到了很多困難。所以我需要確保所有事情都公開(kāi)且符合法律要求?！?/font>



Melling Manor is still on the market for ￡650,000, but if it fails to sell by August 1st, 2017, the owner will pick a winner from the raffle participants. If it does sell, Lowe doesn’t plan on giving back the money to everyone. Instead, he plans on offering the whole pot as a cash prize to one lucky winner.
梅林莊園現在的市價(jià)仍然是65萬(wàn)英鎊，但如果在2017年8月1日之前沒(méi)能成功售出，莊園的主人就要從義賣(mài)參與者中抽選贏(yíng)家。然而如果莊園在此之前成功售出，勞并不打算歸還票款，而是計劃把所有票款作為現金大獎提供給一位幸運兒。



Mr. Lowe told the Standard that he would like the house to go to a family that has been struggling to put up a down payment for a house. “That would be my perfect scenario. The house has stunning proportions and scale. It’s fantastic for a family. It’s in the middle of nature, with pheasants running through your garden,” he said.
勞告訴《旗艦晚報》說(shuō)，他希望這座莊園最后能屬于一個(gè)付不起房子首付的家庭?！斑@是我的完美方案。莊園規模很大，對一個(gè)家庭來(lái)說(shuō)非常適合。莊園周?chē)匀画h(huán)境很好，花園里還會(huì )有雉鳥(niǎo)經(jīng)過(guò)?！?/font>

The Georgian manor house features six bedrooms, a kitchen, cinema room, ballroom, new family bathroom and parking for six cars.
這個(gè)喬治王時(shí)代的莊園有6間臥室，1間廚房，1間電影放映間，1間舞廳，新的家庭浴室和有6個(gè)車(chē)位的停車(chē)處。



To enter the raffle for Melling manor, just head over to WinACountryHouse.com, purchase one or more tickets with PayPal and answer the very simple question “What style of property is this house?”. It’s a multiple answer question, and in case you haven’t been paying attention, the right one is “Georgian”. Good luck!
想要參加梅林莊園義賣(mài)的話(huà)，請登陸網(wǎng)站W(wǎng)inACountryHouse.com，通過(guò)PayPal購買(mǎi)一張或多張門(mén)票，并回答一道十分簡(jiǎn)單的問(wèn)題——“這座莊園是什么風(fēng)格的？”。這道題目答案不唯一，但假使你沒(méi)有注意到的話(huà)，正確答案應該是“喬治王時(shí)代建筑風(fēng)格”。祝你好運！
