A local charity's $1.5 million house and car raffle took another odd twist Thursday when a St. Louis County auto dealership revealed the charity still had not picked up two cars valued at nearly $300,000 that were supposed to be prizes in the drawing.

Tom Schultz, sales manager at Bentley-Maserati St. Louis, said he telephoned the charity's president on Wednesday and asked why he had not yet come to get the vehicles. The prize drawing was five weeks ago. Schultz said the two cars - a $200,000 Bentley and a $90,000 Maserati Spyder - remained unclaimed Thursday."
