Many of us make our resolutions in the first days of the new year – and then, as time flies away, we gradually adjust them, removing obviously unrealistic goals. However, why not adjust your plans at the very beginning of the year? For example, after reading this post, I believe many will want to add a new resolution – buy at least one lottery ticket.
At least some random Aussie has already turned out to be damnlucky– the ticket they bought just recently brought them a hefty jackpot of $20 million in the last draw. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? Okay, let’s go on with more details.

The record win in the history of lotteries brought the lucky man in California $2.04 billion
Interestingly, the biggest win in the history oflotteriesalso belongs to Powerball – only American. On November 7, 2022, a ticket purchased at Joe’s Service Center in Altadena, California,broughtEdwin Castro $2.04 billion. The lucky winner was offered the winnings in equal shares over 30 years, but he refused, preferring to take the $997.6 million at once.
And almost a year later, in October 2023, another lucky Powerball ticket was purchased in California, bringing $1.765 billion – thesecond largestjackpot in the history of lotteries. And the winner also refused the annuity, preferring everything at once. So, as we can see, the still-unnamed lucky Aussie is a real pauper compared to Mr. Castro…
However, twenty million dollars is already a very impressiveamount, although many people on Facebook were quite ironic about the winner. “20 million… barely a house these days,” one of the responders wrote sarcastically, hinting at the incredible high cost of real estate in Australia in recent years.
Netizens mostly were just glad for the lucky Aussie, and some folks even regretted not buying a ticket themselves
