These could be the keys to changing your life for the better.
The Sunshine Coast is in the spotlight nation-wide as major lottery prize homes are showcased across our TV screens and social media.
A new life in 2024 might cost as little as $2, with the proceeds from ticket sales helping a quartet of worthy charities.
Each prize home gives its winner options for their future: the chance to be mortgage-free and embrace the region’s residential charms; have a new holiday home base; develop an income stream through permanent or holiday rentals; or sell up and have an opportunity to enjoy financial freedom.
