My family was facing homelessness when we were threatened with eviction, now I own a £500k home for less than a takeaway

WITH her hands trembling, Ramona put down her phone and took a deep breath. The Instagram video she had just watched confirmed that the single mum’s life had been changed forever. After years of money worries and living in a cramped flat, she would finally be moving into the house of her dreams all for the price of a takeaway.

Ramona was left trembling with joy after she was announced the winner of a £500,000 property raffle through Tramway Path. The 45-year-old and her two young kids have since seen their lives turned around, using the prize money to purchase a house – with no mortgage required.

The teaching assistant is currently in the process of securing her cosy three-bed home in Kingston-Upon-Thames with a huge garden for her children. When I got the call to say that we’d won, I couldn’t believe it – I thought it was a scam. Owning bricks and mortar is a relief for Ramona, who was constantly fearful that her landlord would sell her rented flat, which could have left the family homeless.

“As a single mother, the last few years have been very tough,” she admits. “Our landlord wanted to sell our flat and if we had been asked to move out, we might have been homeless.”. Ramona admits that not having a secure income often made her worry about her family’s future.

“I was studying at the time and didn’t have a permanent job,” she explains. “At one point, the landlord gave me a Section 21 notice but then thankfully backtracked. “But I was still spending my days constantly worrying about our living situation changing and the pressure of securing work was hanging over my head.

“When I got the call to say that we’d won, I couldn’t believe it – I thought it was a scam caller at first.”. After reading about Tramway Path in the news – a London-based business run by brothers Daniel, Jay and Will Twenefour, with the aim to help people get on the property ladder – the single-mother began fantasising about one day winning the prize.

She spent a total of £40 on the £5 tickets to enter the competition. But when the draw finally came around, life got in the way and Ramona missed the official announcement. For just £5, a lucky punter could scoop themselves their dream home anywhere they want in the UK this October.

The future raffle winner won't have to fork out for legal fees or stamp duty charges either. Property brothers, Jason, Will and Daniel Twenefour are offering the life-changing opportunity through their company Tramway Path. Daniel told JamPrime.com: "We want to give individuals the freedom to select an area that suits their preferences.

“We introduced the new model as a result of feedback from our community. “We understand that proximity to friends, family, or work can be important to people, and we don’t want to impose any limitations that could get in the way of these connections.”.

The draw is open until October 27 with ticket bundles starting at just £5 - and you get three entries. Enter here. Her son noticed the missed calls on her phone. She said: “I almost missed it – with the hectic schedule of life, the raffle just completely slipped my mind.

“After dinner, my son noticed the missed calls on my phone, I had no idea who they could be from. “I was very sceptical at first – you read a lot about scams online so you never know what to believe. “But then I saw the announcement video on Instagram and the emotion just flooded out of me.

“I was left trembling with tears of joy, I’m so grateful for this opportunity to give my kids a better life.”. One of Ramona’s main goals whilst house hunting was to find an area for her kids to get a better education, quality of life and safer environment.

She adds: “The area we are moving to gives my kids the chance to have a better future and grow up in a safer environment. “I’m forever grateful to God for this, my prayers have been answered. "To get on the property ladder was my first dream so being mortgage free is just a miracle.".
