The package includes a prize home at 905B Main Western Road, styling and furnishings, a Lexus GX550 Sport, a John Deere ride-on mower and $1,000,000 in gold bullion.

Mater Prize Home Draw 326 has a total first prize value of $5,767,303. The home itself is listed at $4,350,000, with the remaining value made up of furnishings, the Lexus GX550 Sport, the John Deere ride-on mower and $1,000,000 in gold bullion.

The Mater Draw 326 prize home is located at 905B Main Western Road, Tamborine Mountain, Queensland 4272. This gives the prize a very different feel from many coastal or suburban prize home draws, with more of a private hinterland estate-style setting.

The first prize includes the Tamborine Mountain home, styling and furnishings including window coverings, a Lexus GX550 Sport, a John Deere X580 Select Series ride-on mower and $1,000,000 in gold bullion.

A winner would likely speak with a reputable bullion dealer, financial adviser or secure storage provider before deciding what to do. Gold bullion can usually be stored securely, sold through bullion dealers, or held as a physical asset, but the Mater T&Cs note that selling costs and market variations may apply. Read here for what to do with Gold Bullion

Mater Prize Home Draw 326 closes at 7:55pm AEST on 20 August 2026, unless it sells out earlier. Entries received after the close time, or after the draw has sold out, may be entered into the next lottery.

Mater Draw 326 is authorised in QLD, NSW, VIC, ACT and NT, according to the uploaded Terms and Conditions. The T&Cs state that entries are open to Australian and foreign residents aged 18 years or older, subject to eligibility requirements and exclusions. Because South Australia is not listed among the permit/licence states for this draw, South Australian residents should check the official Mater Lotteries page before attempting to participate.

The Mater T&Cs state that lottery prizes are not taxable under the prescribed lottery arrangements, and lottery tickets are not tax deductible. Anyone with personal tax questions should still seek their own professional advice.

If a prize remains unclaimed, Mater Foundation follows the relevant state or territory rules. For example, the T&Cs state that the ACT unclaimed prize draw, if required, would be held on 1 September 2027.

The main draw is scheduled for 10am AEST on 26 August 2026. The draw is conducted at Mater Foundation, 14 Stratton Street, Newstead, Queensland, or remotely if required by business needs

Mater Foundation is permitted to sell up to 24,437,724 tickets in Mater Prize Home Draw 326. The T&Cs state the amount of tickets available may range from 14,418,257 for single-ticket purchases to 24,437,724 if bundle purchases occur.

Estimated chances depend on how many tickets are attached to a purchase and the final number of tickets issued. Using the maximum permitted ticket pool of 24,437,724 tickets, a single ticket has an estimated chance of 1 in 24,437,724, while a 100-ticket book has an estimated chance of about 1 in 244,377.

It's worth noting real people actually win these homes - but you have to be in it, to win it.

Based on the listed bundles, the $100 book gives 100 tickets at $1.00 per ticket and is attached to the maximum listed book buyer prize of $60,000 in gold bullion if the first prize ticket qualifies. Higher-value books may include more tickets, but the book buyer gold amount remains $60,000 once the qualifying threshold is reached.

A book buyer prize is an extra gold bullion prize linked to eligible multi-ticket books. If a ticket from a qualifying book wins first prize, the winner may also receive the book buyer gold prize attached to that book value. For Mater Draw 326, book buyer prizes range from $10,000 to $60,000 in gold bullion.

Mater Foundation states that it will pay transfer duty, registration fees and legal costs to prepare the transfer documentation for the winner. However, if the winner chooses to register the property in a trust, company or another structure, any additional transfer duty or costs from that choice are the winner’s responsibility.

Yes. Once the winner takes possession of the property, ongoing costs become the winner’s responsibility. The T&Cs list estimated council rates of $2,937 per annum and body corporate costs of $2,720 per annum, along with any other costs, taxes and levies that apply from that point.

A foreign resident may need approval from the relevant Australian Government authority before the property can be transferred. If approval is required, the winner is responsible for applying and for any related costs that are not specifically covered by Mater Foundation.

Mater Draw 326 results are published on the Mater Lotteries website on the day of the draw. Results are also scheduled to be published in the public notices section of The Australian on 31 August 2026.

Yes. Mater Draw 326 is worth comparing because it combines a high-value Tamborine Mountain home, a luxury vehicle, estate-style practical inclusions and $1,000,000 in gold bullion. That makes it different from draws where most of the value is concentrated only in the home or apartment.
