A lucky Gala Bingo.com punter, identified as Janet 127 from Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, won a whopping GBP 842 817.76 playing on the website’s exclusive Chests of Plenty Jackpot Slot this week.
“Chests of Plenty had already rewarded one player with GBP 1.6million last autumn so to pay out nearly GBP 1 million so soon afterwards just goes to show how lucrative this slot is” said Alison Digges, Director of Bingo at Gala Interactive.”
William Hill also reported a major jackpot win of GBP 258 670, won by a call centre worker identified as forty-five year old Richard Taylor from Burnley in the UK.
Having trouble sleeping ahead of a nightshift, Taylor won the jackpot on an unidentified slot on a wager of just 20 pence.
“I’ve not got a car at present but that will probably be my first buy. I currently lodge with friends, so now I can buy my own home. It’s not enough for me to retire but it will make life a lot easier. I won’t be worrying about the bills and I’ll be able to go wherever I want on holiday,” Taylor said. “It’s still not really sunk in,” he added.
