The Prize: Land Rover Defender 110 or $260K in Cashable Gold

Draw 1157's headline prize gives you a choice. Option 1: a fully equipped Land Rover Defender 110 D350 valued at $200,000, plus $50,000 in cashable gold bullion, plus $10,000 in Woolworths WISH gift cards. Option 2: $260,000 in pure cashable gold bullion. The choice is yours to make after you win.

Land Rover Defender 110 D350 Package Details

The vehicle is a Land Rover Defender 110 D350 Mild Hybrid in Borasco Grey with the following specifications: 6-cylinder diesel engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, 22-inch Style 7030 dark grey diamond-turned wheels with gloss black contrast, Caraway Windsor leather seats with Caraway and ebony interior trim, and a 5-year factory warranty. Per the operator's official page, the vehicle is ex-Brisbane and comprehensive motor vehicle insurance is not included. Small prop items used in promotional photography are not part of the prize package.

Gold Bullion Option: Full Flexibility

If you choose the $260,000 in cashable gold bullion, Yourtown connects you with a trusted gold provider who guides you through secure storage, sale timing, and conversion to cash. You get 12 months of free secure storage while you decide. Gold can be sold in part or full, with funds deposited directly to your bank account. Gold bullion selling costs between 2–2.5% apply at the time of sale and are incurred by the winner. The spot price of gold fluctuates, so the cash value when you sell may differ from the purchase price on draw day.

Bonus Prize Tiers

Beyond the main prize, Draw 1157 includes secondary prizes: a $5,000 cash prize (or equivalent Woolworths gift cards for Victorian winners), plus four bonus draws of $2,000 each (Big Fill fuel cards, Mid-Year Madness cash, and Fast Cash Friday cash). MultiChance bonuses apply if you buy multiple tickets: purchase 10 tickets in the same name and win an extra $10,000 in gold bullion if you take first prize; 6 tickets earn an extra $7,500; 4 tickets earn an extra $5,000.

Tax Treatment of Lottery Winnings

• Lottery winnings are not assessable income—the ATO does not tax the win itself.
• Interest and investment returns earned from winnings are taxable in the year earned.
• Capital gains tax applies if you invest winnings in shares or property and sell later at a profit.
• Stamp duty exemptions on prize property vary by state—confirm with the lottery operator.

Get advice from a registered accountant for your specific situation. See the ATO's guide on prizes and awards for official tax treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Yourtown a legitimate registered charity?

Yes. Yourtown is ACNC-registered (ABN 11 102 379 386) and licensed to conduct charity lotteries across multiple states. You can verify its charity status, annual financial reports, and governance on the ACNC Register. The organisation holds gaming licences in Queensland (No 29586), ACT (Permit No R26/0067), Victoria (Permit No MG-R26344410), South Australia (Licence No 14996), and New South Wales (Licence GOCAU/2322).

What are my real odds of winning Draw 1157?

Your odds of winning the $260,000 first prize are 1 in 130,000 per ticket. This is fixed because Yourtown caps the ticket pool at exactly 130,000 tickets. Unlike state lotteries (Powerball, Saturday Lotto) where the pool is unlimited, your odds won't worsen if more people enter—the cap is the cap. You also have secondary chances: a $5,000 second prize draw and four bonus draws of $2,000 each.

Can I choose between the Land Rover and the gold if I win?

Yes. Per the operator's official page, the first prize winner chooses: either the Land Rover Defender 110 D350 plus $50,000 gold bullion plus $10,000 Woolworths gift cards, or $260,000 in cashable gold bullion outright. The choice is made after you win, giving you time to decide what suits your lifestyle.

What happens if I win the gold bullion—how do I sell it?

Yourtown connects you with a trusted gold bullion provider who manages the entire process. You get 12 months of free secure storage while you decide when to sell. Gold can be sold in part or full, with funds deposited directly to your bank account. Selling costs between 2–2.5% apply at the time of sale and are your responsibility. The spot price of gold fluctuates, so the cash you receive when you sell may differ from the purchase price on draw day.

Do I have to pay tax on a lottery win?

No. Lottery winnings are not assessable income under Australian tax law. The ATO does not tax the prize itself. However, any interest, dividends, or capital gains earned from investing your winnings are taxable. If you win the gold bullion and sell it later, the 2–2.5% selling cost is deducted before you receive funds. Speak to a registered accountant about your specific situation.
