Becoming a new dad and buying a home can be costly but for one lucky Londoner the problem has been solved with a progressive jackpot win of almost £3 million at mobile casino LeoVegas.com.
The 36 year-old winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, is now planning to use his windfall to buy his first home in the capital.
With average house prices in Central London now over £1 million the jackpot win has cemented the young family’s future in the city.
The player won £2,906,306.34 while playing Mega Fortune Dreams on the LeoVegas mobile app. He bet a mere £20 on the game before going on to take the seven-figure jackpot.
The winner said: “I’d just got home from work and decided to have a spin on LeoVegas. It’s still so unreal for me; I can’t believe I’ve actually won. I can’t wait to spoil my daughter, who has just turned two months, and give her a brilliant start to life and a safe place to grow up.
“I chose to play at LeoVegas as the company is based in Malta. I used to travel there with my family when I was younger so it brings back many happy memories for me. I just had a good feeling and it paid off!”
Shenaly Amin, UK Country Manager at LeoVegas, said: “We are delighted to have a big winner here in the UK, and to hear how much his family will benefit from his win.
“As well as being a great month for big winners, we’ve also launched LeoVegas Sport – our first sports betting platform – so it’s a really exciting time for us. The winner is backing France to win at the Euros this summer so let’s hope his lucky streak continues.”
