What they doing is great. They give opportunity to win multi million prices and use ticket money for cancer research. I love the approach and recommend people to join/support. If you’re lucky you hit a jackpot if not soo lucky you contribute towards cancer research.

Have been buying tickets in this art union for sometime now. So unsatisfactory to try to find winners no way to find out tried their website absolutely nothing. Oh yes two couples on TV recently. Money for jam.

I was sceptical about this because they try so hard. If it was such a good thing for people and even for the cause that they have this lottery for they wouldn't be in our faces at every chance they get whether that's on TV or on the internet. I would say that no one should buy any tickets from them because scamming should not be supported. The money probably goes into their wages not the hospital which should be funded by governments anyway.

I unsubscribed from their newsletter in 2023 and it's 2025 currently, they STILL send me random text messages throughout the day. They've also cold called me to ask for money, horrible org avoid at all costs. I regret buying a single entry, ridiculous.

Scam Alert – The conditions clearly states "not available to WA, SA,& NT residents" yet it is advertised in these states which means those residents can buy a ticket but can't be a winner.

They certainly fall short on anything other than consistently harassing you for more money out of you. Never ending. I was made redundant and yes I subscribed the $100 a week tickets. In 3 years, won a big fat 0! But constantly phoning you to ask if… Read more

you wanted more tickets. So that’s it, no more.. I unsubscribed.. Then constant emails, phoning you.. I then had to get nasty.. STOP HARASSING ME. YOU ARE HARASSING ME, ITS A CRIME..

Finally, reprieve.. Haven’t heard from them again. I just cringe over that annoying guy advertising their ads.. And another workmate has had the same issues, Harassment Stay well clear in three years I worked out. I spent an absolute fortune for ZERO RETURN. Almost sounds like fraud

 Follow-up  · As soon as I stated that they MATER were harassing me, constantly sneaky ph calls, ie different phone numbers, I said I’m reporting them if this is going to continue. They literally took thousands from me $$$$. And know I had been made redundant.. No winner here. After the threat, GONE!!!

So this is a lottery to help provide funds for medical and research purposes. What is not disclosed is the huge amount of $$$ that goes into these annoying, repetitive and uninspiring tv ads. The British announcer couldn't be any less convincing. Surely this waste would be better invested in actually helping people. Never ever ever will I buy a… Read more

ticket in this lottery. I would rather donate directly to medical research knowing my money with go directly to the end recipient and not to purchase a Multi million dollar home for one person. This money could buy another MRI machine

Draw 323 Bribie Island...Banksia Beach..what can I say...words cannot express the feeling you get when you walk into this beautiful Mater prize home. An open, spacious, light filled home that draws you in all the way to the spectacular view over Dux Creek . Admiring the pool, your eyes feast on the amazing boat moored at the pontoon included in… Read more

the prize and then back to the beautiful outdoor setting, outdoor kitchen and beautiful built in seating table for 8. Inside the home is a magnificent kitchen to entertain the biggest of families which then wraps around into a huge butlers pantry. The wow factor indoors has to be the media room.. Beautiful tiered seating in a darkened room with floor to ceiling black drapes and a huge projection screen..movie nights would be amazing. All bedrooms are stunning but the master is just to die for with views over the water, an enormous ensuite with dual showers and a huge walk in closer that any woman would love. There's absolutely nothing not to love about this prize home. ..just need to win it..lol.Its so close to Bongaree, Ballarat and Woorim beaches, beautiful views overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains, beautiful blue ocean. Well done Mater.

Unsolicited SMS from a Charity? That’s Not OK. This month alone, I’ve received 5+ marketing texts from Mater Lotteries—despite never engaging with them or giving consent. Under Australia’s Spam Act 2003, that’s likely illegal. When I called to ask how they got my private number, their team: ❌ First deflected with “We’ll remove you” (not an… Read more

answer). ❌ Then claimed “someone provided it”—but refused to say who. ❌ Offered zero transparency about their data practices.

As a respected charity, this feels like a major misstep. Supporting good causes doesn’t excuse sketchy marketing. Ethical outreach = consent + accountability.

Mater Lotteries: Clean up your SMS practices. Your supporters deserve better.

I normally don't write this kind of review, but i saw quite a number of encountered the same hence i have to put pen to paper to write. and also if there is an option of no Star i would but unfortunately i have to put rate in order to submit

Data Privacy Nightmare: Avoid Mater Lotteries - In this situation, I am absolutely appalled by Mater Lotteries shameless disregard for personal data privacy; they refuse to clearly acknowledge deleting my sensitive personal information, including date of birth, full name, and home address, from their systems, when sought. Now, this is a… Read more

serious violation of our right to privacy and a massive security risk. In an age where data breaches are growing, a company that cannot or will not instantly remove personal data upon request (nor have the facility in member account to do yourself) is simply unacceptable. If you value your rock-solid privacy, then do yourself a favor and avoid this company.

Bought Mater lottery tickets for a while instead of TattsLotto as I thought even if I lose it would be helping a worthwhile cause. Now I'm receiving phone calls trying to sell me tickets in upcoming prize draws. It is invasive and if I wanted to buy more I would do so without being harassed. I rang up to complain and got some stpid a-hole going on… Read more

and on and on about the new draw. Finally got here to stopping selling the speal to me and said they don't have a right to do this. She was an arrogant piece of garbage! Will never buy another Mater ticket again. NEVER!!! Mater. The chances are you are going to lose.

I only started buying $2 tickets only, on line in the last year. If you wish to buy only one $2 ticket, you must be careful that is what you click, because you'll need to scroll down. This is a soft gamble after all, and chances of winning are slim, but considerably better than any lotto game, and there is only one winner. Haven't had any problems… Read more ·  1

with texts or callers but recently had two door knockers. They were polite and accepted I didn't want to buy any more. They don't sell your personal details on, like some organisations like the Surf Life Saving lotteries, who do phone and sell your details. Even the Salvation Army on-sells your details, a friend told me. I guess it's tough for the charities, since very few people carry cash any more.Good luck with your flutters and be disciplined with your gambling!

Happy to support a worth cause. I requested to be put on the ‘no call’ list as the constant upselling was annoying. Reading the other reviews, maybe this should be publicised a little more. Show reply
