Membership Frequently Asked Questions
How and why to become a Home Lottery Member
What does it mean to become a Royal Melbourne Hospital Home Lottery Member?
Members are ongoing supporters of the Royal Melbourne Hospital Home Lottery, and their Home Lottery tickets are issued automatically at the commencement of all future Home Lotteries. Being a Home Lottery Member means that you will never miss out on a draw and will be entered into exclusive, Member only prize draws!
Is there an advantage to becoming a Home Lottery Member?
Yes. There are several advantages to becoming a Home Lottery Member.
- Active Members are guaranteed tickets in all future Royal Melbourne Hospital Home Lotteries, so you’ll never miss out because of an early sell-out!
- Active Members are guaranteed that their Home Lottery tickets will be included in all draws.
- Members with a Home Lottery ticket are automatically entered into the exclusive draw for the Membership Sports Spectacle: A once-in-a-lifetime sporting experience, including premium seats at the 2027 Australian Open Finals with five nights of luxury accommodation and a winery experience, plus a trip to Sydney for the Men’s Rugby Cup Finals with a five-star, 10-night stay. The member prize also includes $40,000 in gold.
- Most importantly, your continued support of the Home Lottery helps the Royal Melbourne Hospital continue delivering the very best care to you, your loved ones, and all of Victoria when it matters most.
Why are there more than two home lotteries now?
We’ve introduced an additional Home Lottery to give supporters more chances to enter and win across the year, while raising more funds to support vital hospital care and research. Each lottery is run separately, and you’re never required to take part in every lottery. You can choose which lotteries suit you, how often you participate, and which ticket options you prefer. Home Lottery Members will always be notified in advance and can manage their participation in each draw.
When is the Member-only draw?
The Membership Prize will be drawn on Thursday 15 October 2026.*
* If all Home Lottery tickets are sold by the Bonus Deadline on Friday 18 September 2026, the Membership draw will be conducted on Thursday 24 September 2026. To be eligible for the Membership Draw, Members must have a valid ticket in the current Home Lottery and an active Membership to all future Home Lotteries as of midnight Friday 9 October 2026.
