Important legal note
This is a strong draft, not a substitute for a lawyer reviewing the promotion before launch. Because you are charging entry fees and awarding a real property-related prize with revenue sharing, you should have the final rules reviewed for:
the jurisdictions where you will accept entries,
Philippine property and promotional law issues,
tax treatment,
title/ownership structure,
whether the prize should be awarded directly, through a contract right, or through another legal structure.
