If your ticket number wins a prize, you have won, regardless of whether you missed our call.

If you’re a winner in the Home Lottery, we will contact you directly – never through unsolicited links or requests for payment in order to claim a prize. If we need to verify any details, we’ll contact you by phone using the number you provided when you purchased your ticket. If you receive a message that seems suspicious, do not click any links - instead reach out to us directly or check our official winners list published at www.rmhHomeLottery.com.au.

All prizes must be claimed within twelve months of the draw date. We will make multiple attempts to contact winners to ensure they have received their prize.

If a prize remains unclaimed after twelve months and all attempts to contact the winner have been exhausted, the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation must sell the prize and distribute the proceeds to the Victorian Government.
