- Every year the Royal Melbourne Hospital runs a serious lottery where you can win some truely amazing prizes. This year the first prize is a house and not just any old house but a 370 sqm (that's 3,984 square feet to our American friends) two-storey, fully furnished, four bedroom, two-living room plus a home theatre, double garage and a lap-pool house in one of Melbourne's most expensive suburbs. I want it. I want it in the way only someone who lives with two other people in a two bedroom flat can want it. The prizes will be drawn on 19 Oct 2010 or (if all tickets are sold) on the early bird prize draw date 28 Sep 2010. Status: Pending
Note: further details of the lottery and tickets can be obtained here: http://www.rmhhomelottery.com.au/main.php
