In the online gambling market, there are plenty of online pokies that offer up generous progressive jackpots worth millions – but it is not very often that they pay out their grand prizes. This week, Ash Gaming’s Pig Wizard made one lucky many into a multimillionaire after just a £1 wager.
Most jackpot winners plan to lavish themselves with luxurious items and vacations, but this particular winner has vowed to give at least half of his online pokie jackpot away. The winner is a 60-year-old man from Rutherglen, Scotland. He had made a single wager on the Pig Wizard online pokie at William Hill online casino, and managed to trigger the progressive jackpot grand prize.
The prize was worth £1.6 million ($2.8 million AUD), and he immediately made plans for his winnings. He has announced that he will use at least half of his winnings to help his friends and family. His only child, who is now an adult, will also be well looked after thanks to the generous windfall. “We’ve got a lovely family and to think I can make such a difference to their lives – just by playing a game, for a bit of fun – it is just incredible,” he says.
The winner has stated that he has no need to move house. He and his wife are happy to stay where they are while they use their online pokie jackpot to help their loved ones. The one luxury he has mentioned is a trip to Las Vegas for him and his wife. “We really couldn’t be happier for him and his family,” says a spokesperson for William Hill’s online caisno.
“He’s a lovely guy who can now look forward to retirement with no money worries – not bad for a £1 investment!”
