Chrissie Johnson, a chiropodist and grandmother from Wales, has become Sky Betting and Gaming’s first online millionaire with a progressive strike that paid out GBP 1,346,155.43.
A regular player at Sky Bingo for the past year, Johnson had been playing on Playtech‘s ‘Chests of Plenty’ slot for around 15 minutes when her screen lit up with a GBP 300,000 winning notification, followed by the larger amount of the jackpot on the 5 reel 20 pay-line virtual machine after nine diamonds appeared in the three bonus chests.
Speaking at a special presentation in her honour at the Leeds HQ of Sky, the lucky player said that she had joined Sky for its community spirit and games, but had never dreamed of earning enough money to enable her to spend more time with her family members.
