Bet the house on it

I’ve heard of a lot of wild giveaways, but this one might take the cake.

Actually, it might take the whole damn house. Literally.

Pulte Homes Inc. has teamed with the Eagles for a wild stunt in which some lucky fan could win a $300,000 home at halftime of next week’s Monday night game against the Browns.

All you have to do is throw a football through a small hole in a miniature version of a Pulte home that will be on the field. Oh, and you have to do it from 20 yards away.

Guess that rules out Donovan McNabb. I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

More than 4,000 fans have signed up for the contest through the Eagles Web site. Three will be picked at random.

Throw the pigskin through the hole, and you get the real thing, A $300,000 home, or that amount toward the purchase of a home at one of Pulte’s 17 developments in the region.

I know home sales are way off – isn’t everything? – but I’m not sure I’ve heard of anyone giving away an entire house.

Maybe win a new car by kicking a ball through the uprights, but a house?

As they say in Vegas, you can bet the house on it.
