A prize draw generating £1m for the Eden Project Morecambe with a chance to win a multi-million pound luxury home in Cornwall is entering its final days.
Funds from the Omaze Million Pound House Draw will go towards the £100m scheme on Morecambe Promenade - where work is due to start next month.
Organisers Omaze are offering the house as the main prize in the draw, as well as £250,000 in cash.
Online entries for the draw close on May 31 - with postal entries closing on June 2 - and the Eden Project CEO said it has provided "important momentum as we move forward" with plans for the new attraction.
World renowned environmental charity the Eden Project has received £50m towards the Morecambe project from the government, with the other half coming from private and philanthropic sources.
The charity's Cornwall attraction celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and the Morecambe scheme is due to open in 2028.
Andy Jasper said: “Eden Project Morecambe is built on everything we’ve learned over the past 25 years in Cornwall.
"That experience shows that sustained investment in nature, skills and education can deliver lasting benefits for people and places.
"The guaranteed £1m raised through this partnership provides important momentum as we move forward.
"We’re excited to see the total raised after the online draw closes on May 31 and encourage everyone who can to take part.”
The luxury home (below) is described as "an artful house of glass, timber and steel, where lush gardens overlook uninterrupted views of Cornwall's south east coast".

The Omaze website says it's located in a coastal village in South East Cornwall, just west of Plymouth’s Michelin star dining and ferries to France, moments from the beach and the South West Coast Path’s scenic walks.
"This breathtaking house is valued at over £3,500,000," says the website.
"Thinking about renting it out? The Cornwall House has an estimated long-term income of approximately £5,000 to £8,000 per month.
"And remember, you can always sell up and walk away a multi-millionaire."
The website also says that furnishings are included.

"By entering the Cornwall House Draw, you’ll be supporting a brand new destination for the Eden Project, helping to reconnect every generation with the natural world," it says.
"Overlooking Morecambe Bay, the new facility will help revitalise the town, create hundreds of green jobs and inspire thousands of children and young people to engage with nature.
"Thanks to the Omaze Community, the guaranteed £1,000,000 donation from the draw will help create a world-class destination, improve access to education about our planet and create a lasting legacy for years to come."
The cost of entering the draw depends on the number of times you choose to enter.
The Omaze website offers 10 entries at £15, and up to 320 entries for £150.
Omaze runs prize draws raising money for charity by offering people the chance to win life-changing prizes.
“This draw gives people the chance to win a remarkable prize while also supporting a project with clear social, environmental and economic value," said Matt Pohlson, Founder and CEO of Omaze.
"Eden Project Morecambe builds on a track record that shows what’s possible when communities, education and nature come together.
"As Eden celebrates its 25th anniversary, we’ve heard countless powerful stories about the long-term benefits the charity brings, and we’re proud to support the extension of that impact to the North.”
Eden Project Morecambe is being delivered in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University.
How Eden Project Morecambe could look
It is designed to complement and celebrate the heritage of the Promenade and Morecambe Bay.
The scheme has been described as "the greatest show of nature’s rhythms, where time is sped up, slowed down or paused - revealing the wonder, rhythms and threats to the health and well-being of people, Morecambe Bay, and planet".
It has also been called a "game-changer" for the local economy, with an estimated 580,000 visitors expected each year.
As well as exhibitions themed on the natural world and Morecambe Bay, housed inside a 'Realm of the Sun' and a 'Realm of the Moon', the attraction will include public gardens, a 6000-capacity concert venue, a cafe and a restaurant.
Eden bosses describe 2026 as a ‘transformative’ year for the scheme, that was originally given planning permission in February 2022, with revised plans approved earlier this year.
Already this year a main contractor, VINCI Building, has been appointed, and the project's 'Bring Me Sunshine Garden' has won awards at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
*Terms and conditions for the draw are available at the Omaze website.
