Roxy told Ny Breaking Australia in a statement on Sunday that she felt the competition offered a good offer to entrants.
“How many times can you pay $29, get an online course worth $299 and enter for a chance to win a $10 million property, and if you don’t win, you can walk away with $250,000 cash – no questions asked couples?’ she said.
“$250,000 is a 20 percent down payment to invest in a property, if you wish. “I recently ordered a chicken salad when I was in Sydney, it cost $32 and it gave me indigestion and not much else,” she continued.
“$29 to access an online course, a house or $250,000 cash, a Rolex watch or a Hermes handbag looks much more appetizing.”

however, the Daily telegram reported on Sunday that the property is actually owned by two Bankstown businessmen.
“The property is owned by my business partners at Roxy’s Brand Bootcamp. A title search will determine that,” Jacenko told Ny Breaking Australia on Sunday.
The house, called Zephyr, was auctioned last December with hopes of making $10 million.
The property, which appeared in the TV series Australia’s Best House, reportedly failed to sell and was taken off the market before appearing in Roxy’s giveaway.
