US-Australia Currency War Sends Loads of Australians Online to Play the $560 Million US Mega Millions this WeekSYDNEY, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- US Lottery giant offers its third highest jackpot in history A few years ago, the only way you could win a lottery jackpot worth hundreds of millions was to fly to the United States to physically buy a lotto ticket there. How times have changed! In the last few years, Australians have increasingly been buying their lottery tickets online, especially because the US dollar is so strong compared to the Australian dollar in the last couple of years, which means, potentially, Aussies could win hundreds of millions more than before. By the end of 2015 Australians had bought tens of thousands of US lottery tickets through theLotter.com. Online sales really skyrocketed, however, in January of the current year, when the US Powerball set a new world jackpot record of $2.15 billion (US$1.6 bilion). That multi-billion dollar draw created such a frenzy all over the world that countless Australians have since been going online every week to buy overseas lotto tickets! The most popular foreign lotteries for Australians remain the US Mega Millions & Powerball. theLotter.com is the world's premier lottery ticket messenger service - it enables people to order official lottery tickets from around the world and doesn't charge any commission on wins. The service has helped people win $70 million since 2002: late 2015 one of its Iraqi clients won the $8.6 million jackpot in Oregon. In 2016 a pensioner from El Salvador won a huge prize in an American lottery, a man from Quebec collected the $1.35 million second prize he won in the US Powerball and a Moscow chauffeur won nearly $1.5 million in the Austria Lotto!
