$5,500,000 win for just 50cents |
A Mega-Moola jackpot of over $5.5 million has been won by a player from Finland. Klaus E. placed a $0.50 bet on the popular progressive jackpot machine and within a matter of seconds became a Mega-Moolah multi-millionaire.
A spokesperson said: "Klaus has just become part of an elite community of online casino players who have 'hit it big' and joined the exclusive Millionaires' Club. We congratulate him on his win and look forward to joining him in his celebrations."
Klaus himself couldn’t believe that he had won the monster-sized progressive jackpot, and said that his hands were actually shaking. When the nerves settled he told casino officials that he would begin using the money to pay off the mortgage on his apartment and take a holiday.
Microgaming had just a dozen progressive jackpot millionaire’s before Klaus struck it rich, and now add his name to the list of exceptionally lucky players.
"Those that say thirteen is an unlucky number have only to take one look at Klaus E. who not only becomes the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot's thirteenth millionaire, but by far and away the biggest jackpot winner we've ever had,” said Roger Raatgever, who is Chief Executive Officer at Microgaming. “Mega-Moolah has been tantalising players for months now and its finally delivered on a massive scale - with $5,556,753.68 being one of the largest payouts this industry has ever seen."
Klaus will now fly to Sydney in Australia to collect his cheque and enjoy the limelight as Blackjack Ballroom’s biggest ever winner. His story will inspire any Mega-Moolah player who has a dream of turning a small stake into big money, because it proves once and for all that even a 50 cent bet can lead to big, big wins.
