Top prize ticket for only £10
She has launched a £10-a-time competition raffle and is hoping to sell 23,000 tickets between now and next spring.
The Post first told her story last month. Since then, she has sold more than 4,000 tickets, and is well on her way to hitting her target by the end of March.
The legal complexities are enormous, but she believes she is onto a winning formula and remains confident it will be a success.
"I looked at the market and saw how slow sales were,'' said the 46-year-old.
"So I decided on something different.
"I've done lots of work with solicitors to ensure everything goes smoothly.
"There has been a lot of interest so far.
And since the first story first appeared in the Post, I have been swamped with calls from people who want to go down the same route asking me how it is done.''
The house, on Dunvant Road boasts three bedrooms, three receptions rooms and a large rear garden, and is in the catchment area for Olchfa school.
Mrs Craig, who runs the Found Out Inn in Dunvant, bought the house in 1999 and lived there until 2007.
To ensure the competition complies with legal requirements and is not deemed a lottery — for which a licence would be needed — entrants have to answer a "skill-based" question to be in with a chance of winning.
Elsewhere, owners such as Greg Thomas have used private property adverts in the Evening Post to try to sell.
His £160,000 semi in Morriston is now well on the way to exchanging hands.
"The sale isn't final yet, but things are looking good,'' he said.
