Sydney sisters win Prize Home

Retired sisters Helen and Liz recently made the voyage from Sydney to Brisbane to check out their new home worth over $734,000, which they won through the Endeavour Prize Home lottery in February this year.

Prize HomeIt was love at first sight for the sisters as they explored their brand new, fully-furnished three bedroom home with in-ground pool. 

Liz, who has never lived further than four blocks from the house she was born in, promptly made the decision to move up to Queensland to enjoy her retirement in the luxurious surrounds.

“I have had the same telephone number my whole life,” said Liz.  “But I’m going to move up here because I believe it will improve my health.  For example, I think I’ll be spending a lot of time in that swimming pool.”

Helen and Liz have been buying Endeavour Prize Home lottery tickets regularly since 1991. 

They didn’t expect to win, however. 

“I just wanted to support the organisation,” said Helen.  “Winning the home was just so amazing.  Needless to say, it’s made a real difference to our retirement.”
