The temptation to win money can be too big for some

The temptation to win money can be too big for some

My old friend Logie has to be the best known key dangler in Northern Ireland. As the face of McKinney Competitions the former UTV sports presenter now spends his time jetting around Europe compiling videos of grand properties to be won in the next big raffle. Leaning towards the camera he seduces the audience with a cheeky grin and a teasing shake of the keys that could be yours with the purchase of the winning ticket.

His avenue to the home of your dreams is not the only one. A growing number of new local companies have taken a gamble on our desire to live in luxury. They are offering houses both at home and abroad, there are also cars, cash and holidays waiting to be snapped up by the lucky winners. Every video has that “it could be you feeling” and there is usually a little hint of how we are all running out of time to hit the jackpot.
