Retired carpenter wins €4 million progressive jackpot at CasinoEuro playing Mega Fortune slot

Last Monday in Hamar, Norway, a 69 year old man could be heard shouting for his wife. He was shouting from the sheer joy and excitement of having landed €4 million jackpot at CasinoEuro.

The retired carpenter hadn’t been trying to get rich. He just wanted to while away an afternoon gambling some low stakes at an online casino. On impulse, he placed €30 on the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot, where the minimum bet is merely €0.01. He didn’t do anything special. In fact, he hardly did anything at all, as by hitting “autoplay”, the game did everything for him.

As usual, the wheels began to spin. Nothing extraordinary to see here yet. And the wheels continued to turn. As it happened though, that jackpot had been collecting for quite some time. It was more than ripe to burst. When the wheels stopped, the man couldn’t believe his eyes, and when reality took hold he was ready to faint. That was when the shouting began.

We don’t know who he was or what he will do with the money – his privacy is being protected. Yet, Kevin Saliba, Business Area Director of CasinoEuro knew within a few minutes. With great joy he “congratulate[d] the winner” and expressed his “hope[s] that this large jackpot gives him the freedom to realize his dreams.” Magnus Silfverberg, CEO for Betsson Malta and operator of CasinoEuro concurred “We are very happy for our Norwegian winner, and send him our warmest congratulations.”

This is neither the first, nor will it be the last, jackpot which the Betsson Malta paid out. They are thrilled that online casinos like CasinoEuro can make dreams come true. Saliba expressed “It is unbelievable fun to pay out such large wins and even more pleasing and fun when it is a retired man who has won. So we sincerely hope that the money makes the retired carpenter and his wife enjoy their retirement even more”.

There is no telling which player may be their next millionaire. To give players a little more opportunity to join this elite, when players join CasinoEuro, they get a 100% bonus up to €100.
