They're hiding behind a domain proxy for one.  Second I believe this has been tried and failed in Florida.  It's gambling no matter how you cut it.  I'd be on the look out for them to show up in the news.

...this type of "sales" gimmick clearly illustrates total desperation in the midst of a downward spiraling housing market.

(1) The "values" given for the properties are crack-induced
(2) The "contest" consists of unscrambling words to earn a place in line
(3) It seems the same handful of people <morons> are trying "win"
(4) It proves PT Barnum continues to be right!
