No matter how you slice it, this is big. REALLY big!
It also happens to be one of those jackpots stories that, rather than making me feel green with envy, gives you a feel good vibe because the winner sounds like the kind of guy that really deserves it.Enough prattling. Here’s what happened.
Over the weekend a North Sea Cod fisherman from Aberdeenshire, Scotland hit the jackpot playing Hall of Gods Slot. The jackpot was a very big one. Colossal actually.
It will enter the record books as the largest online slot jackpot won by a person in the UK, or paid out by a UK online casino.
£5,450,863 !!
He was playing at BetVictor at the time, and the win came from a 20p spin.
Not sure if he’ll be out trawling the North Sea in bitterly cold and dangerous conditions too many more times!
What a life change. Good fortune smiling on salt-of-the earth types is my idea of Karma doing its thing. Just in case you’re thinking, hang on…just because he’s a hard working fisherman doesn’t mean he’s a nice bloke, this is what he plans do do with his winnings…
“He will take some time out to decide what to do with his winnings but plans to donate some of it to charity, as he believes everyone should give something back to help others who don’t have the same luck in life”
How he described the win…
“I can only compare the feeling of winning as equal, but different, from the day I saw my son born.”
Yep…I recon that 5 million’s in the right hands.
