What is a prize home lottery?
Last updated 15 October 2026 (AEST) · 9 open draws · Method: definition written by our editors; the open-draw table is read from each operator's published draw pages on every sync.
A prize home lottery is a charity lottery whose first prize is a fully furnished house, usually with extra prizes such as cash, a car or gold bullion.
Operators buy or build a home, sell a fixed maximum number of tickets, and draw a winner on a set date. The money raised after prizes and costs goes to the charity the lottery supports.
Most draws also run smaller early bird draws before the main draw, and many offer ticket bundles that cost less per ticket.
