It often takes a while for the news to sink in for our ecstatic prize winners. Read some of their happy stories below...
Mater Prize Home No.227
First prize winner
Imagine receiving a life changing phone call on a Friday afternoon telling you, you had just won a million dollar luxury villa on the Gold Coast. For one very lucky 19 year old girl from Brisbane, this phone call became a reality in February this year when she was told she had just won the Mater Prize Home Lottery No.227. Having decided to keep the prize home our young winner is enjoying being a home owner and living the life of luxury on the Gold Coast with her 8 month old daughter and partner. Congratulations!
