What If I Win?

Do I have to take my prize home or can I just take cash?

Prize homes must be accepted as awarded. There is no cash alternative available for prize homes. 

Are there expenses or legal costs associated with taking ownership of the prize home?

No. The prize home is awarded free and clear of all encumbrances. There are no legal fees to the prize winner associated with the title transfer. These costs have been paid by The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation (PMCF). However, if a winner retains their own counsel, which is their option, this is at their own expense. 

Do I have to live in the home for a year before I sell it?

No. You can opt to "sell" or "move in" – but title must be taken before property can be listed for sale. There is no requirement a winner move and occupy a prize home for any time period.
