Free condo for winning cornhole toss in Surrey contest, with a catch
Published 3:00 pm Thursday, March 5, 2026
Developers of a housing project are advertising a contest where the winner of a cornhole game can move into a free condominium in Newton.
The first 200 buyers at Dawson + Sawyer’s Queens development are eligible to win the “Cornhole for a Condo” tournament.
To enter the game, contestants must pay a deposit and be pre-approved to buy a condo, now under construction at the King George Boulevard project site, at 78 Avenue.
The cornhole tournament will be held during a special party Saturday, Oct. 24. The winner will have pre-sale contract deposit refunded and purchase price reduced to $1, the contest website says. The prize value ranges from $400,000 to $850,000.
“All participants will attend the event and receive one throw to compete for the prize,” the website says. “The contest follows a single-elimination format, meaning a missed throw results in elimination. With each round, the throw line will move back by one-foot increments. The last person remaining wins a free condo.”
Among contest rules, only the person listed on the original contract may participate — no stand-ins or substitutions allowed.
The Queens development includes nearly 3,500 homes in 21 six-storey woodframe buildings with a mix of condos and townhomes. Dawson + Sawyer has more than 55 years of experience constructing such homes in Surrey and the Fraser Valley.
The Queens project site was previously home to the Bear Creek Glen manufactured home park. The neighbouring Crispen Bays park is also owned by Dawson + Sawyer.
