Who doesn't want to own a chateau? Now is your chance to own a French mansion by shelling only Dh47. 
A lot would depend on your luck though as Dh47 would enter you into an online raffle that could get you the palatial house. 
The house by British philanthropist Ruth Philips in Bordeaux, France is worth 1.7 million Euros (approximately Dh7 million) and spreads over 34 acres, complete with nine-bedroom and a swimming pool.  
A total of 500,000 tickets have been sold on the website and Ruth plans to donate all the profits from the sale of the house to build affordable housing that does not damage the environment.  
5 per cent of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go to a charity for homeless people. 
She told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Affordable housing is one of my main interests as I feel it is everyone's right to have a home. 
"It is impossible nowadays for people to afford a home because of the extremely high prices. 
"This will provide a solution. The kit houses can be put together in a week and aim to cost less than 10 percent of the price of an average house in the UK."
