Selling housing Jackpot style

Yesterday i read a woman in southern Austria want to sell her 4,305-square-foot luxury villa/house but couldn't find a buyer for about half a year.. well the villa is value about $1 million.. so i guess at this economic downtime its very hard to find one hahahaha anyway when she couldn't find a buyer she decided to raffle it off at a website. Now as at December last year she raise nearly $1,280,000 (990,000 euro), she sell the tickets at $128 (99 euro) each and so far sell 9k+ tickets already. It seeems she got more than what the actual price for the villa lolz..an Austrian, was picked as the lucky winner of the home in Austria's southern province of Carinthia during a drawing in the southern city of Klagenfurt.


I wonder if its legal to do that in Malaysia?? lolz coz its a new idea to sell off your house.. i myself would buy a tickets for RM50 - RM100 for a chance to win a house.. and i guess a lot of people also would buy and if 100+ people buy your tickets you get RM100k already hahahaha

RM50 Forgery Notes

My wife works as a Bank Teller, i remember a few months back when it was a very busy day for them at the counter. 1 person bank-in RM100+k of RM50 notes.. of course receiving that big amount u have to be fast while at the same time being scared that u receive the fake notes (during that time RM50 fake note is hot news) she does scan thru the notes using the ultraviolet light to make sure the aint any fake notes but hey.. RM100+ if she scan carefully it could take hours hahahaha so during evening time when its time for balancing she got 1 fake notes.. RM50!! i thought the bank would replace it or take it the bank loss RM50... but it seems if the particulars teller got a RM50 fake notes.. she or he have to replace it with THEIR OWN MONEY!!! so going home that day 1 RM50 down the drain free of charge.. but actually she wont know whr she get that RM50 coz a lot of transaction is going on that day.. also when they are not balance during the end of the day they have to make up for the loss also.. the most highest my wife ever scored is RM1k.. which she pay in 2 installments... we come home late that nite coz she keep on looking where the error is.. i guess 1 customer comes home with extra RM1k that day

Now everytime i went to any bank, if i receive more money while withdrawing i always give coz pity the staff.. in the end she/he have to pay.. i know its their fault but we all human and do mistake right.. now im really relieve my job got nothing to do with handling of cash...

adios!
