What did you say?

We've made a lot of winners calls...but none quite like this! 

GOTTA LOVE WINNERS DAY!

About 50 supporters came to see the balls roll at the luxury Leichhardt Prize Home (which was back by popular demand!) in Sydney today. Thousands more were waiting for our Prize Homes Facebook page to be updated and sitting by their phone waiting for the call.

WHEN THE BALLS ROLLED...

There was an optimistic tension in the air as the barrel spun with many supporters holding their tickets in anticipation. Everyone was excited because they knew the $1.7 Million First Prize Winner would get to choose between the Gold Coast Hinterland or Leichhardt Sydney prize home. An enviable decision to make!

The $1.7 Million First Prize went to Ticket Number 383637 purchased by "D & J" of Narrandera NSW 2700.

When we called and spoke with the winner, they were talking via speaker phone in the car.

OK, hang on, I'm driving I'm going to have to pull over... What did you say?!' - Prize Home Winner

They aren't the first winners who have asked us to repeat what we've said...we’re kinda used to saying it a few times before they believe us. Finding out you're a $1.7 Million prize winner isn't something you hear every day and they were understandably shocked!

It’s a bitter-sweet win for the couple who were driving to a funeral when they received the winning call. While we have made many calls, to many winners - that was a first for us!

Once they believed us, we found out that the latest yourtown prize homes winners are a husband and wife – currently living in a small NSW town about 550KM from Sydney. They told Tracey Gillinder, Head of Marketing and Fundraising, they have family in Sydney and held 3 tickets in the draw.

They were delighted to find out that because they had 3 tickets in the draw, they ALSO WON $30,000 in BONUS GOLD BULLION!

They have a few days to decide which of the prize options they prefer. Either way, their choice will be valued at $1.7 MILLION and includes furniture, electrical and travel. Lucky them!

MORE WINNERS!

The winners kept coming with the ball machine rolling out the 2nd and 3rd prize winners.

Each draw, automatic ticket buyers (subscribers) are entered into a separate draw for $10,000 GOLD BULLION.
