The prize win was made official on Thursday in Sydney.
McCarthy said she will treat herself to a new-to-her vintage Cadillac. She also plans to share a lot of the prize money with her loved ones, help her immediate family, brothers and sisters, and pay off the mortgages of all her nieces and nephews.
