Beer Chugging Girl Of USA Open, Megan Lucky Is Going To Show Her Art Again This Year

Due to her beer-chugging incident at the last two US Open competitions, Megan Lucky became an internet star.

She is currently unemployed and lives with her parents in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Her goal is to capitalize on her internet celebrity and return to New York City.

“I got laid off from my corporate job back last fall and then I was traveling the world a little bit, to find myself, as cliché as that sounds,” Lucky told The Post.

“I still haven’t been able to truly monetize. So I’m starting to post more on my socials.”

One apparent option to profit from her talent is to approach beverage sponsors.


“I’ve done a couple partnerships with alcohol brands — Truly is the most recent,” she said.

The blonde beauty promised to attend the US Open in Queens on September 1 after initially becoming famous in 2021 for downing a Heineken on the Jumbotron at the usually formal tennis competition.

“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 remembered her initial stunt.

The chug immediately became recognised as a unique move.

In less than an hour, the camera caught her once more as she drank the beer that her boyfriend, Connecticut native Andrew Dillinger, had given her in exchange for her first-ever ticket to a game.

Lucky was unaware that she had become popular until she learned she had been on ESPN’s SportsCenter the following day.

“If you had told Little Megan, like, way back when, that I would be on SportsCenter, she’d be like, ‘Wow, because of track? Like, are we finally a good athlete?’ And I would be like, ‘No, we chug a beer,’” Lucky remarks.

She went back to the event the previous year with Dillinger, who she described as being “super supportive” of her public antics.

Especially since Serena Williams was competing in the final match of her career that evening, she didn’t anticipate being videotaped once more.

“So I was like, ‘There’s no way,’” she said.

“I remember sitting down and looking over and there was a camera guy not too far away and we had made eye contact and he was like, ‘You.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my God, it’s happening.’”

The US Open posted the event to Instagram, this time including side-by-side video from both years and a timer to demonstrate that, in both cases, her chug was timed at precisely 7:37 seconds.

“It’s the exact same time … I have no idea how that happened,” she said.
I don’t practice.”
Lucky, who now presents the podcast “A Lucky Life,” grabbed the hearts of Instagram fans and witnessed a sharp rise in followers on both occasions she appeared on TV.

“I had 3,000 followers on Instagram … and then I went to 25,000,” she said.
“And then the second year, it went to 100,000.”
