A lucky Gold Coast teacher has recently won an impressive $897,827 in the USA Power Lotto, breaking the record for Queensland’s largest win from an overseas jackpot. The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, won while playing online with The Lottery Office, an Australian licensed lottery company with a corporate office right here on the Gold Coast. The Lottery Office is hoping to bring even more luck to the Coast, and are now offering a $210 million prize in the European Millions lotto Superdraw.
Despite falling painfully short of the $1 billion jackpot prize by just one number, the second division win was more than enough to clear the 61 year-old’s mortgage, with plenty of change leftover for a holiday and a much-needed surgical procedure.
He was preparing to teach a class when he received a call from The Lottery Office with the good news. He wasn’t aware of his windfall as he had not yet checked the results of the draw! He was gobsmacked to receive the call.
“This is the dream, I had no idea I had won,” the man said.
The Lottery Office CEO, Jaclyn Wood, comments, “It’s fantastic to see a local cash in such a massive prize from an international lottery. We feel privileged to have facilitated this win.”
Despite the huge division 2 prize, it could have been doubled had he opted to play the Multiplier feature. This is an optional add-on which gives players the ability to double their division 2 prizes.
One lucky Sydney player with The Lottery Office did just that, by unintentionally adding the Multiplier when purchasing his division 2 winning ticket, taking home over $1.65 million!
The Multiplier can also multiply the regular amount for prizes other than the jackpot and division 2 by up to 10 times.
The USA Power Lotto gives players with The Lottery Office the chance to win from record-breaking overseas lottery jackpots, such as the US Powerball, which has previously offered jackpots topping $2 billion. It has the all-time record for the highest jackpot ever, at almost $3 billion.
When players buy tickets in the USA Power Lotto, The Lottery Office buys tickets in the US Powerball overseas, using the same numbers selected by the players. If the US Powerball ticket wins any prizes, The Lottery Office collects them, and then pays the player the identical amount of collected prize money. This revolutionary government-licensed business model lets Australians play for prizes that can’t be matched by traditional lotteries and give you the chance to live out your days in luxury!
The Lottery Office is a wholly Australian-owned and government-licensed company, that gives players the chance to win from the draws of famous overseas lotteries such as the US Mega Millions, EuroMillions and the SuperEnalotto, which has the record for the highest lottery prize offered in Europe at $575 million.
Aside from giving players the chance to change their lives for the better, The Lottery Office proudly gives back to the community, with a percentage of all ticket sales donated to The Lottery Office Charity Fund. This initiative aims to help charities and community groups Australia-wide, such as Guide Dogs, Careflight and The Australian Street Aid Project.
