A married couple have put their £2.5million 'Mega Home' up for sale after they failed to raffle it off in a draw which set participants back £25 a ticket.
Mark and Sharon Beresford launched the competition last year for their six-bedroom home to be won be a lucky member of the public.
However, as not enough tickets were sold for Avon Place in Hampshire in the 'Win-a-Mega-Home' raffle, the first place winner was instead given a cash prize of £110,000.
The couple have now listed the house for sale using a more conventional method, with estate agents Hamptons International.
Despite having been slammed for the decision to not give the home to a raffle winner, the couple insisted they had done nothing wrong in the process.

The house in Ringwood, Hampshire, is a Huf Haus, meaning it is a distinctive glass and wood property built by the German company of the same name, which can be constructed within days. The couple will keep the house now but are still trying to sell it with a view to moving to East Sussex to be closer to family
The property has been valued at £2.5m - £500,000 less than it was estimated at during the raffle and the same price as it was previously listed for in 2006.
The luxury Huf Haus, distinguished by its steel and glass design, has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, five main reception rooms, a games or snooker room and a cinema.
The kitchen is also high tech and modern with several state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances included. There are vibrant red units as well as a stylish breakfast bar and marble tiles.
The house is incredibly energy efficient and sustainable with around £270 per-month, covering gas, electricity and water bills.
Outside, there is a bespoke-built BBQ house in the landscaped gardens, a block of four garages and 60ft of direct frontage of the River Avon along with fishing rights.
