Brisbane Woman Becomes Instant Millionaire with The Lottery Office’s USA Power Lotto
The next USA Power Lotto draw jackpot on 11 September is worth an astonishing AUD$50 Million!
A 29-year-old Brisbane woman is celebrating after becoming The Lottery Office’s biggest individual winner to date, taking home an incredible A$1.89 million in Thursday’s USA Power Lotto draw.
The life-changing Division 2 win came agonisingly close to being even bigger — she was just one number away from scooping the entire A$2.1 billion jackpot.
The lucky player selected the winning numbers 3, 16, 29, 61, and 69, but chose 23 instead of the jackpot-winning Power number 22. Despite missing out on the historic jackpot, her prize remains a dream come true.
When The Lottery Office confirmed the win, she was in disbelief:
“Are you serious? Oh my God! I’m floating! You are joking! I was literally, today, just ranting about how I will never be able to buy myself a house or anything.”
A Life Transformed Overnight
The young winner purchased just three tickets in the draw and added the ‘multiplier’ option, turning her near-miss into a multi-million-dollar moment. She described the experience had “literally completely changed my life”.
With the winnings, she plans to clear her HECS debt, go travelling and buy her first home.
“I’m just elated. I’m shaking and trying not to cry,” she said.
More Record Jackpots Ahead
The timing of her win couldn’t be more exciting. The USA Power Lotto jackpot since climbed to A$2.6 billion, making it the third biggest in US and The Lottery Office’s history.
At the time, The Lottery Office CEO, Jaclyn Wood, said:
“We’re over the moon at this incredible win and crossing our fingers that an Aussie might go one better this Sunday’.
Aussies’ Ticket to the World’s Biggest Lotteries
The USA Power Lotto rolled over 46 times and was close to the record for the world’s biggest ever jackpot!
When Aussies purchase a ticket with The Lottery Office, we buy a matching ticket in the official overseas draw — giving you a real chance at life-changing prizes.
As the Brisbane winner herself said:
“You can’t win if you’re not in it, right? That’s literally why I buy tickets. You’ve got to be in it to win it!”
