On June 17th 2016, one lucky online casino player netted an incredible €6,355,463.98 while playing on an online slot called Mega Moolah. This works out to approximately £5.1 million. The winner, 27-year-old Rawiri Pou, was playing at a Microgaming powered online casino called Casinoland when his luck came in.
“I still can’t believe this is real, I’ve been in shock since I won and it is literally going to change my life,” said the winner. He then finished by saying, “There is so much I want to do with this money and it couldn’t have come at a better time. My family are overwhelmed and so happy.” These comments came directly from the official Microgaming website.
The player ended up hitting the largest of the four progressive jackpots from within the randomly triggered progressive jackpot bonus rounds and this jackpot is known as the Mega Jackpot. The three much smaller jackpots that he could have won include the Major Jackpot, the Minor Jackpot and the Mini Jackpot.
The ‘Mega’ jackpot will never drop below its seed amount of $/€/£1,000,000.00 and at the time of writing is worth just over £5,694,878, and climbing by the second.
