$6.4M GIFT TO GO UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE
A SINGLE blue note could change your life and the odds are much better than winning lotto.
The RSL Art Union is giving away its biggest home lottery prize in history this Christmas, worth
$6.4 million.
The Golden Treasure draw of an entire Palm Beach apartment complex – which includes a penthouse, two townhouses and two units – will turn the winner into an instant multimillionaire.
Odds of taking out the draw are one in 690,000 if you buy three $10 tickets – much better than the odds of winning Powerball at one in 76 million.
General manager of lotteries Tracey Bishop said each ticket sold helped veterans and their families.
“Everything from homeless programs, scholarship programs, we have invested heavily in
PTSD research and emergency accommodation,” she said.
“The range of services has really grown to target veterans of all ages.”
Drawn on Christmas Eve, the package includes a tree with $6000 worth of goodies underneath, $410,000 of professionally styled furniture, and rates, water and body corporate fees for the first 12 months valued at almost $48,000.
“We believe this is the biggest charitable prize home lottery in the world,” Ms Bishop said. “Rental income is just under a quarter of a million dollars a year. Whoever wins it definitely never needs to work again.”
Tickets are more than 65 per cent sold.
“You could sell one of the apartments and travel the world and rent out the rest,’’ Ms Bishop said.
“We have had previous winners move into the penthouse and get the other apartments and townhouses managed by a real estate agent and that’s their income. It’s nice the winner gets to sit back and relax for 12 months as all the body corporate and rates are paid.”
The apartment complex, named Sanananda Shores, after a World War II battle, is at 4 Twenty Seventh Ave, Palm Beach.
