Elsewhere on the Internet, SusanH, a player at the Microgaming-powered Platinum Play Online Casino in the Fortune Lounge group, won $240 000, over a 3-day period on the Living in Luxury reel slot.

The online slots gaming action heated up for Susan H. as she won $40 000 on a wild, wild, seven combination, then continued the following day with a win of $120 000 on the same combination. Lady Luck was again present on the third day, as Susan H. claimed another $80 000 on the same game.

Wonder what stakes Susanh was playing to hit the big roll ? Superb wins!!

Quite high : wild-wild-seven pays out "only" 400x bet on this slot ... so she was betting 100$/ spin on the first win , 300$ on the second (VERY strange for a 2-coin max three reel machine - is $150 coin denomination available for high rollers at MG casinos ?) and 200$ in the last one.

Wouldn't be surprised to heard that she lost most , if not all of its first/two wins to get the second/third one , considering how high were the stakes ...

Press release

Swedish player wins 1.2 million euros on a Unibet slotmachine.
Third euro millionaire to emerge from Unibet this year!

Malta, 6 July 2009 – “Sleepless nights, but in a good way...” That is how Unibet regular L summarizes his first nights being a millionaire. The 48-year old winner from the north of Sweden pocketed a whopping 1.2 million euro jackpot at Unibet last Friday on the “Mega Moolah” slotmachine.

L joins the Unibet millionaire’s club at second position, climbing over third position Nils from Norway who won 1.1 million euros in January of this year on the “Arabian Nights” slotmachine. Topping the millionaire’s club at Unibet is still Dutch player M with a massive win of 4.3 million euros only three weeks ago on the “Mega Fortune” slotmachine.


When L was playing “Mega Moolah” at Unibet it was clear he wasn’t just winning a small amount. With a big flash from the game and a payout of 1.2 million euros he instantly became a millionaire.

Big money does not mean big change according to L: “With the winnings I will definitely pamper my daughter, buy a new car and travel around Europe to experience international football matches. No big changes needed, I like my life as it is now and it will surely even become better thanks to this win!”

Petter Nylander, CEO of Unibet said: “We are pleased to again make one of our players a millionaire! “Moneytainment”, for everyone, anytime, everywhere, that is what Unibet stands for. And this is not the end – there’s a lot more to be won on www.unibet.com! “.

Details on another big winner this week are currently awaited from the Microgaming-powered Casino Action online casino, which has reported a $504 934.87 jackpot hit by a player in the Netherlands on a stake of only $40. It is understood that the win was also on the Mega Moolah progressive.

And talking about good fortune, there's a lottery player in Florida who is hard to beat.

James Bush of South Daytona is one of three $1 million winners to claim a Firecracker Millionaire Raffle prize so far from the Florida Lottery. He bought the ticket in Port Orange.

But this isn't the first time the 50-year-old has claimed a winning ticket.

On his way to Florida Lottery headquarters, he bought a Billion Dollar Blockbuster scratch-off ticket and won $1 000. And in 2007, he won $500 000 in the Gold Rush scratch-off game!
