Winning a progressive jackpot is all the sweeter if it has been hit from a small bet. This is the exact situation of a 49-year-old player from Britain who has claimed a windfall of £4,082,246.09 from an 80p online casino bet. The sensational spin was landed last month in October on NetEnt’s progressive jackpot slot game Mega Fortune Dreams.

Many big winners at online casinos prefer not to go public with their emotions, but not this player. He said that he had heard and read about people winning these sorts of multi-million-pound jackpots, but he never really believed it as it had never happened to anyone he knew. And now this event happening to him is a surreal feeling. He went onto explain how he won the jackpot. The winner got home from work in the early afternoon. He went to bed but unsuccessfully tried to sleep. So he did what he normally does on such occasions. He started playing at his favourite online gambling site. After a while he began to doze off when he pressed the button and the feature came up. He said, “I thought ‘that’s alright – I’ve won something’ – but I didn’t realize how much I had won. I sort of read something, so decided to get my glasses and that’s when I realized how much it was!”

4 million pounds is a life changing amount for any one. It has changed this winner’s life. But what is really inspiring is that it has changed other people’s lives for the good too. The winner has distributed to his friends and family the best of a million pounds. He has bought an Aston Martin DB11 and a Jaguar XJ for his dad. He is taking his family to Disneyland. The best thing is that he will not be working any more.

“Mega Fortune Dreams has certainly lived up to its name again by creating another instant multi-millionaire and delivering a life-changing win,” said Henrik Fagerlund, NetEnt Chief Product Officer. In order to win the Mega Progressive Jackpot in this slot game you must trigger the Bonus Game by getting three Bonus symbols anywhere on the 5 reels. A wheel spinning feature opens up and you need to pass all three wheels and reach the centre to win the Mega Jackpot. NetEnt offers a number of other progressive jackpot slots. Mega Fortune, Divine Fortune and Hall of Gods are very popular.
