A 43-year-old man from Co Wexford, Ireland, lists his family’s three-bedroom home for a raffle described as priced “for the price of a McDonald’s meal,” according to multiple reports. The listing presents the property as being roughly 15 minutes from the beach, in a rural setting.
The sources say the cottage is surrounded by mountains and positioned in the countryside near the coast. Both outlets describe the same individual—Steve Rooney—and the same basic details of the competition and the home’s location. While the reporting uses promotional phrasing from the listing itself, the core facts are consistent across the articles: it is an online raffle for the property, and the home is marketed by proximity to the beach and its rural, mountainous surroundings.
Neither outlet provides additional context in the excerpts about the raffle’s rules, ticket pricing beyond the comparison, or any regulatory approvals.
