Lucky man wins entire beachside apartment complex off $10 ticket


A Queensland man has become an instant multi-millionaire, claiming top prize in the RSL’s biggest ever Art Union prize home competition.

A $10 ticket resulted in the Boronia Heights man winning an entire apartment complex on the Gold Coast.

The complex boasts five luxury apartments plus a penthouse, worth a total of $5 million.

Called Rudland’s Reach, the fully-furnished property has views of Palm Beach, complemented by two Audi cars.

“Someone’s life has changed forever,” RSL Lotteries’ Tracey Bishop said.

The complex is named after Peter Rudland, a veteran, Paralympian and survivor of a Black Hawk crash in Afghanistan in 2010.

The winner will get the keys on Monday – a very special early Christmas gift.

More than $2 million in tickets were sold, with proceeds helping servicemen and women.

The next home to win is a $1.5 million apartment in Surfers Paradise where you can see both ends of the coast – and tickets are only $5.
