Mater Lotteries draws summary
Prize Home Draws
Mater runs six major Prize Home lotteries annually, each typically lasting around three months. The headline prize is a luxury multi-million-dollar home, often paired with vehicles and gold. Bonus draws and VIP-only promotions form a consistent part of the overall draw structure.
Cars for Cancer
Alongside the Prize Home draws, Mater runs six Cars for Cancer lotteries annually. These draws focus on high-value vehicle prize packages, sometimes combined with adventure experiences and gold. The structure is simpler than the Prize Home draws, with fewer bundle-based incentives.
