About Yourtown

Yourtown (formerly BoysTown) is an ACNC-registered charity supporting at-risk young Australians through crisis intervention, accommodation, education, and employment programs. Prize home draws fund more than half of Yourtown's annual budget, making each ticket purchase a direct contribution to youth services.

Kids Helpline is Yourtown's flagship service. Last year, the hotline handled over 9 million contacts from young people in crisis. Seventy-one percent of those calls came after hours — nights, weekends, and holidays — when other support services are closed. Your $15 ticket directly funds these critical contact hours for vulnerable young Australians.

Beyond counselling, Yourtown operates residential accommodation for homeless youth, education support programs, and employment pathways. The organisation works with young people aged 5 to 25 across Australia, addressing trauma, mental health, family breakdown, and homelessness. Prize home draws like Draw 560 enable Yourtown to maintain 24/7 crisis response capacity.

The Prize: 399A Rio Vista Boulevard, Mermaid Waters

Yourtown Draw 560 offers a $3.2 million prize home at 399A Rio Vista Boulevard, Mermaid Waters, Queensland 4218. The property features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, a saltwater pool, and two car spaces with zoned ducted air conditioning throughout.

Mermaid Waters is a beachside suburb on the Gold Coast, approximately 80 kilometres south of Brisbane. The area offers waterfront living, proximity to Surfers Paradise, and established residential amenities. Properties in this pocket command premium prices due to proximity to the beach and strong rental demand from tourists and holiday-makers.

The prize package includes the property as listed, valued at $3.2 million. Stamp duty, legal fees, and other acquisition costs are not included in the prize value. Winners should budget for these expenses separately when taking ownership.

The Odds: How Yourtown Draw 560 Compares

Charity lottery odds depend entirely on ticket sales volume. Yourtown does not publicly state the ticket pool size for Draw 560, so exact odds cannot be calculated. However, you can compare this draw to other active prize home lotteries to understand relative prize values.

Yourtown's previous draw (Draw 559) closed on 10 September 2026 and offered a $2.9 million Tewantin property. Draw 560 increases the prize value by $300,000, reflecting the premium location and beachside position of the Mermaid Waters home. Endeavour Lotteries' current Draw 469 offers a $2.9 million Golden Beach property, closing 8 October 2026 — six days before Draw 560.

Without ticket pool data, you cannot calculate exact odds for any charity prize home draw. However, Yourtown's track record shows consistent draw management and timely payouts. The charity has run hundreds of draws since its inception, building trust with participants and regulators alike.
