Here’s everything you need to know about Megan Lucky – the viral US Open beer girl
Megan Lucky gained widespread attention by quickly drinking beer during the previous two US Open championships. Presently without a job and residing with her parents in Ridgewood, NJ, she intends to capitalize on her online popularity and relocate to New York City.
The attractive blonde, who initially gained online fame in 2021 for consuming a Heineken on the Jumbotron at the usually formal tennis event, has committed to making a comeback at the US Open in Queens on September 1st.
The rapid consumption of beer soon turned into her distinctive performance. Merely an hour later after the first instance, the camera focused on her once more, and she repeated the act by downing her boyfriend Andrew Dillinger’s beer. Dillinger, who hails from Connecticut, had purchased the ticket for her first-ever match. It wasn’t until the following day that Lucky discovered she had gone viral, learning about her appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter. The video, also shared on the US Open’s Twitter page, garnered views from individuals as far-reaching as Australia, Singapore, and India.
‘Beer Girl’ Megan Lucky is set to return to US Open 2023
Megan Lucky will be attending the tournament this year once again with her boyfriend Andrew Dillinger, who she met on the dating app Hinge. Lucky, who currently runs a podcast named “A Lucky Life,” managed to capture the affection of Instagram users and experienced a significant surge in her follower count each time she graced the television screen. She recalled, “I had 3,000 followers on Instagram… and then I went to 25,000. And then the second year, it went to 100,000.”
A graduate of the University of South Carolina with a degree in sports and entertainment management, Megan Lucky has earned the label of a “cult hero.” However, she does face some criticism for her lively behavior at the traditionally reserved US Open. Reflecting on her initial impulsive action, she mentioned, “I don’t know what came over me… but it was this fun moment, super spontaneous, and I didn’t think anything of it except to get the crowd going.” She recounted hearing remarks such as, “This would never happen at Wimbledon.”
