Great stories like this just have to be shared.  There's a very happy man from Happy waking up in a brand new home worth $185,000 that he won in a raffle drawing at the Big Texan Steak Ranch on Sunday night. Farmer and rancher, Dudley McNeill is the new owner of a beautiful 1,775 square foot home in the City of Amarillo, Texas.  Mr. McNeill got the news over the phone since he was unable to attend the drawing, but never-the-less it was great news to him.  The home was raffled off as part of a fundraiser for the international Myelin Project, which does research for cures of demyelinating diseases along with promoting education about them.

The home is a brand new 1,775 square foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom dream for many who paid their $50 to get a chance to win.  The raffle sold $150,000 worth of tickets, which is $10,000 less than the $185,000 appraisal value.  The beautiful home sits at 3600 Springfield Ave. within the City View development near Hollywood Road in the City of Amarillo, Texas.

Although the fundraiser didn't make any money for its cause in the end, many are still optimistic and have future hopes.  Over 100 hopeful people turned out at the Big Texan in high hopes of winning the home.  And this was a very unusual raffle.  Unlike most raffles in which the first name drawn wins, this raffle was complete opposite.  The last name to be drawn was the big winner.

It's really great to hear stories like this about the communities in which I serve and to be able to share them with others.
