KCTV5 - Charity apparently ready to abandon raffle of $700,000 home

KCTV5 - Charity apparently ready to abandon raffle of $700,000 home: "Charity apparently ready to abandon raffle of $700,000 home

ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- A charity that raffles off expensive homes to raise money apparently has failed to raise enough money to raffle off a $700,000 home in St. Charles County.

Gateway to a Cure, which raises money for spinal cord injury research, is under investigation by the Missouri attorney general's office.

The St. Louis-area charity announced its 'Grand Giveaway' raffle more than 2 1/2 years ago, but the owner of the home, Arbor Homes, said slow ticket sales have prompted it to put the house up for sale."
