Finnish Player Wins $5.5 Million Jackpot
May, 05, 2008
Earlier this year we mentioned that the progressive jackpot on the Mega Moolah slot machine, available at several MicroGaming casinos, was approaching the $5 million mark. It took another couple of months before it inevitably paid out, but by then it was even larger - $5,556,753.68 to be precise.
In the second half of April, Klaus E from Turku, Finland placed a tiny $0.50 bet on Mega Moolah and became an instant multimillionaire. In an interview with MicroGaming , Klaus lets us know that he was "stunned and shocked" and that his hands were shaking when he realized that the unbelievable had happened.
For his new-found fortune, Klaus plans to pay off his apartment and go on a nice vacation, but first he'll be going to Sydney, Australia to receive an oversized novelty check and be welcomed into the CasinoRewards Millionaires' Club - an exclusive club for players who have "hit the big one."
