Lottoland Player One Number off in Huge US Power Draw

Over in America, 53-year-old Mavis Wanczyk broke the record for the biggest individual jackpot win in North American history – taking home $480 million* USD ($336 million after tax) after her lucky numbers were drawn. She picked the numbers based on her relatives’ birthdays and described the win as a ‘pipe dream’.

The Massachusetts mother-of-two said of her 32-year job at a medical centre: “I’ve called them and told them I will not be going back”, and rightly so taking home an amount that will give her financial independence for the rest of her life.

The US Powerball was the second-largest in US history, coming in only behind the $1.6 billion* USD drawn back in January 2016. However, 3 people shared that prize that day, making this the single biggest take home prize in US history.

Aussies Join US Winners

With Lottoland opening the door to International lotteries such as the US Powerball, Aussies now have the chance to take part and win massive jackpots.

By betting at Lottoland, a 36-year-old man was able to win his share of the second-largest US jackpot in history – a cool $700 million* USD ($886 million* AUD). What’s even more amazing is that he went on to match 4 out of 5 regular numbers and the Powerball – giving him a Division 3 prize. Had he matched just 1 more number he would have taken home a share of the $700 million* jackpot!

Nevertheless, turning $30 into $63,000 still isn’t a bad day’s work!

Here are his lucky numbers: 6, 7, 16, 23, 61 – P Ball: 4

Here are the drawn numbers: 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 – P Ball: 4

This Aussie wasn’t the first Lottoland player to win big on the US draws, with one lucky woman winning $1.3 million on the US MegaMillions in July this year.
