Even those that buy and don’t win have helped a worthy cause. Unless the nonprofit purchases the home regrdless of the grand prize winners choice to take the cash, I recommend a holding fee to the homeowner. So if the grand rize winner takes the cash prize, then the homeowner can reduce the price of the home the amount of the holding fee for a quick sale below market value. In this way, the homeowner still gets their house sold.
