Lotto Winner: Just one number off from the USA Power Lotto Jackpot!
Lotto stories are often full of hope, excitement, and life-changing moments. Some winners hit the jackpot, while others come achingly close to life-altering prizes. One such tale is that of a lucky NSW man who narrowly missed the USA Power Lotto’s AUD $226 million jackpot by just one number.
While he didn’t win the grand prize, he still walked away with a substantial AUD $92,000, showing that even near-misses in lotteries can be incredibly rewarding.
The Story of a Near-Miss
This NSW IT professional was just one number away from a massive AUD $226 million USA Power Lotto win. Despite missing the grand prize, he was fortunate enough to win the division three prize.
The total payout for his division was approximately AUD $46,000. However, because he had opted for a “multiplier” on his ticket, his winnings doubled to over AUD $92,000. For this lucky man, what began as a ticket purchase ended up being a fantastic payout, even without hitting the jackpot.
The Multiplier Effect
What made this particular lotto win even more special was the player’s decision to add a multiplier to his ticket. The multiplier feature is an option in some US lotteries that can increase non-jackpot prizes. In this case, it doubled the division three prize from $46,000 to $92,000.
The lesson here? Sometimes spending a little extra on your ticket, such as adding a multiplier, can make all the difference if you land a non Division 1 prize.
