The Story Behind the Yourtown Prize Home Sale
Announced on May 14 as the grand prize winner of Draw 548, the Urunga resident received the keys to a spectacular four-bedroom, three-bathroom modern Queenslander tucked into a private cul-de-sac in Doonan. Just a month later, due to personal commitments outside Queensland, the new owner has decided to list the property for auction.
This swift turnaround isn't unusual in the world of prize homes — especially when winners live interstate or face lifestyle mismatches. Many winners love the thrill but ultimately opt to sell, unlocking instant cash value from their win.
