Across March and April this year, 3 lucky VIP Club members received a phone call from Dream Home Art Union that instantly changed their year – each winning a $50,000 VIP High Life luxury holiday in 3 bonus draws exclusive to our VIPs.

Three incredible getaways, each designed for those who expect the very best. With business class flights, five-star accommodation and unforgettable experiences included, each winner also had the option to customise their own dream escape with a $45,000 travel voucher and $5,000 spending money.

For Sally* from the Gold Coast, QLD, who has been a VIP Club member since January 2022, the win marks a moment of pure possibility.

With a $50K luxury holiday now hers, life looks a little different. The chance to step away from the everyday, indulge in world-class experiences and create unforgettable memories is no longer just a dream - it’s a reality.

For Riley from Diggers Rest, VIC, the life-changing call came at an unexpected moment - while he was working on a roof!

“It’s probably not a good time right now because I’m on a roof,” he said as he answered the phone, staying put as the call unfolded.

When he heard the news, his reaction was immediate: “No! No way.”

A VIP Club member since September 2025, Riley said he originally joined after being approached in a shopping centre. “Why not?” he said. While he loved the prizes and the cause, he never believed he’d win. “I never, ever, ever actually win these things!”

Now, that’s all changed. Riley is already leaning towards taking the curated holiday experience and plans to share it with his partner and her two kids - turning it into a trip they’ll never forget.

Blake* from Tenambit, NSW, also joined the winner’s circle - and for him, the moment was deeply personal.

“I’ve never won a thing mate, ever! Are you serious!?” he said, overwhelmed by the news.

With a milestone birthday coming up later this year, the timing couldn’t be better. Blake plans to take his partner and his young daughter on their very first proper holiday together.

“A lot,” he said when asked what the win means to his family. “My daughter’s 8 and we haven’t really been on a proper holiday… only a weekend sort of trip.”

After 25 years working hard operating heavy machinery, this win represents something far greater than a getaway - it’s time together, memories made, and a chance to experience something truly special.

Whether it’s a five-star escape, a once-in-a-lifetime family trip, or the freedom to design the perfect holiday, $50K can mean something different to everyone - and that’s what makes it so powerful.

Congratulations to Riley, Blake* and Sally* on their incredible wins, and thank you to all VIP Club members for being part of something meaningful. Each ticket sold continues to support veterans and families across Queensland and nationally, through a range of impactful services and programs to help in real and meaningful ways.
