Yes. The main first prize includes $250,000 in gold bullion.

The winner may also qualify for an additional book buyer prize of up to $60,000 in gold bullion, depending on how many tickets were purchased in the winning name before the draw. That means a qualifying first-prize winner could receive as much as $310,000 in total gold bullion.

A book buyer bonus is awarded when the first-prize-winning ticket was purchased as part of a qualifying multiple-ticket book.

The additional gold increases with the size of the book:

• $10 book, 6 tickets: $10,000 gold
• $15 book, 10 tickets: $20,000 gold
• $20 book, 15 tickets: $25,000 gold
• $25 book, 20 tickets: $30,000 gold
• $30 book, 25 tickets: $35,000 gold
• $40 book, 35 tickets: $45,000 gold
• $50 book, 45 tickets: $50,000 gold
• $70 book, 65 tickets: $55,000 gold
• $100 book, 100 tickets: $60,000 gold

Purchasing more than 100 tickets also qualifies for the maximum $60,000 book buyer prize. The bonus is only awarded if a ticket bought in the qualifying book wins first prize.

The prize includes an Audi Q5 Sportback 2.0L e-hybrid quattro, valued by Mater at $130,137.

Dealer delivery, registration, compulsory third-party insurance, stamp duty, GST and applicable luxury car tax are included. The Wurtulla home’s garage also has a wall-mounted electric vehicle charger.

No standard cash alternative for the Audi is offered in the published terms.

Mater’s general conditions state that non-cash prizes are not redeemable for cash and are not transferable. After the vehicle has been awarded and ownership requirements have been completed, the winner could decide to keep or sell it, but any later sale would be separate from Mater and subject to the usual costs and legal requirements. 

The main Mater Prize Home Draw 327 is scheduled for 10:00 am AEST on Friday, 23 October 2026.

It will be conducted at Mater Foundation’s office in Newstead, Queensland, or remotely if business requirements make that necessary.

Mater Foundation will pay the standard costs needed to transfer the Wurtulla home into the winner’s name, including:

• Transfer duty
• Registration fees
• Legal costs for preparing the transfer documentation

Extra costs can arise if the winner asks for the property to be placed in the name of a company, trust, another person or a different ownership structure. Those additional charges would be the winner’s responsibility.

Mater’s general guidance also says it covers the home’s insurance and electricity for 14 days following settlement.

Mater’s terms state that prizes are not taxable under the prescribed lottery arrangements. The cost of purchasing tickets is not tax deductible.

However, what the winner later does with the assets may have tax consequences. Selling the property, renting it out, investing sale proceeds or disposing of the gold could raise capital gains, income-tax or other financial considerations depending on the winner’s circumstances.

Mater does not provide personal tax advice, so a winner should speak with a qualified accountant or tax adviser before making major decisions.

The prize is provided as physical gold bullion rather than a cash payment, but the winner may choose to sell it after receiving it.

Mater states that the gold is valued at its purchase price on the date it was acquired. The amount ultimately received from a bullion dealer may be higher or lower than the stated value because gold prices move and dealer spreads, fees or other selling costs may apply.

Funds raised through Mater Lotteries contribute to Mater’s work across healthcare, medical research and clinical education.

That support helps fund areas such as medical research, equipment, patient care, healthcare programs and the education of health professionals. Mater says lottery supporters help keep its work at the forefront of research, education and healthcare in Australia and internationally.

Single tickets start from $2, with ticket books offering more entries at higher purchase amounts.

The qualifying books specifically listed in the Draw 327 book buyer schedule range from $10 for six tickets through to $100 for 100 tickets. Larger purchases may also be available through Mater, and purchasing more than 100 tickets qualifies for the maximum $60,000 book buyer prize if one of those tickets wins first prize.

Always check the number of entries shown at checkout

The final number of entries depends on whether people buy individual tickets or ticket bundles.

Mater states that the Draw 327 entry pool may range from 13,455,147 entries for single-ticket purchases to a maximum of 22,805,334 entries if bundled purchases occur. Using the maximum figure provides the most conservative basis for estimating the odds.

Based on the maximum possible pool of 22,805,334 entries:

• One ticket has estimated odds of approximately 1 in 22.8 million
• Six tickets have estimated odds of approximately 1 in 3.8 million
• 25 tickets have estimated odds of approximately 1 in 912,213
• 50 tickets have estimated odds of approximately 1 in 456,107
• 100 tickets have estimated odds of approximately 1 in 228,053

Buying more tickets improves the mathematical chance attached to that purchase, but every individual ticket still has the same chance of being selected and no bundle guarantees a win. Mater also explains that the maximum number of tickets varies between its lotteries.

Eligible entrants must be 18 years or older and must be legally able to enter and receive the prize under the laws that apply to them.

Importantly, South Australian residents cannot currently purchase tickets in the Mater Prize Home Lottery. Mater advises that SA residents may participate in its Cars for Cancer lotteries only.

Certain people associated with Mater Foundation or the administration of the draw, together with their immediate families, are excluded. Overseas residents must also check the laws in their own jurisdiction, and a foreign winner may need Australian Government approval before the property can be transferred.

Mater’s state eligibility rules should be checked before purchasing because charitable-lottery regulations differ across Australia.

Mater also advises that it cannot send Mater Prize Home marketing materials to Western Australia or South Australia. A restriction on receiving promotional material is not necessarily identical to a restriction on purchasing, so WA residents should confirm their eligibility and the status of their chosen purchase directly through Mater’s official checkout or Supporter Care team.

Yes. People who purchase a Draw 327 ticket between 12:01 am AEST on 13 July 2026 and 11:59 pm AEST on 31 August 2026 are entered into the early-bird bonus draw.

The prize is a $5,000 Coles Myer voucher, with the early-bird draw scheduled for 10:00 am AEST on 2 September 2026. The main prize-home draw remains separate. 

Mater Prize Home Draw 327 is scheduled to close at 7:55 pm AEST on Tuesday, 20 October 2026.

The draw may close earlier if all available entries are sold. Mater’s terms also state that entries processed after the closing time or after a sell-out may be placed into the next lottery, so purchasers should check the draw number shown during checkout.

Mater states that the winner will be contacted by phone and registered mail.

The result is also scheduled to be published on the Mater Lotteries website on the day of the draw and in the public notices section of The Australian on 26 October 2026. Entrants do not need to be present at the draw to win.

Once possession is handed to the winner, the normal costs of owning and maintaining the property become their responsibility.

These may include council rates, building and contents insurance, electricity, water, pool and spa care, garden maintenance, servicing the solar system and general repairs. Mater estimates the council rates for the Wurtulla property at approximately $5,532 per year.

The $250,000 gold component may give the winner financial flexibility

The winner may generally choose to rent the property after it has been transferred, subject to local planning rules, insurance requirements, any covenants affecting the property and the usual tenancy laws.

Any advertised or discussed rental return should be treated as an estimate rather than guaranteed income. The winner would be responsible for confirming whether long-term or short-term letting is permitted and for meeting all Sunshine Coast Council, taxation and insurance requirements

Once ownership has been legally transferred, the winner could generally decide to live in, retain or sell the Wurtulla property, subject to any easements, covenants or other restrictions recorded against it.

Mater does not guarantee what the home would achieve on the open market. The stated prize value should not automatically be treated as a guaranteed future sale price, and selling expenses such as agent fees, marketing and legal costs would need to be considered.

For people comparing current prize home draws, Mater Draw 327 combines a relatively low $2 starting ticket price with a $5.38 million coastal prize package, a premium hybrid vehicle and $250,000 in gold.

Its book buyer bonus is another point of difference: an eligible first-prize winner may receive up to $60,000 in extra gold, depending on the number of tickets purchased.

The decision should still be based on personal budget rather than the size of the prize. Every entry is a chance rather than an investment, and buying a larger book does not guarantee a return.
