MEGA MOOLAH ONLINE JACKPOT HIT AT PIGGS PEAK

30 November 2007

One day just another guy, the next a multi-millionaire


Yes it’s true, these things can happen. One very fortunate player, Mr R.V. went from being just an ordinary guy to a multi-millionaire, literally in a matter of minutes this week!

Mr R.V. was playing the Microgaming “Mega Moolah” Progressive slot at Piggs Peak Online Casino, just for relaxation. Then, the unimaginable occurred: he hit the largest online progressive jackpot to be paid out to date in the Southern hemisphere.

“At first it felt surreal,” he said, “like this cannot be true.” But upon receipt of his whopping Rands 4.3 million cheque from Piggs Peak yesterday (Thursday), reality finally hit home. “Life is good, but now it’s extremely so,” said R.V., all smiles but clearly still overwhelmed.

The player prefers to remain anonymous for reasons we can understand, but we can reveal that he is an IT technician by profession. And there is absolutely no talk of handing in his resignation, or doing anything extravagant, for that matter. Ask anyone what they would do with more than four million rand, and they would most probably say: “I’m going to immediately resign, and go on an extended holiday,” or “I’m going to go on the shopping spree of a lifetime.” But the very sensible R.V. intends to spend his money wisely.

“I would like to buy a house, as no one can afford to buy one these days, and maybe a car. Apart from that, I will invest the rest. But of course I would first like to share some of the spoils with my family.”

The Piggs Peak crew were delighted with the big win. “R.V. is such a nice guy! We are obviously over the moon that we could create yet another instant millionaire. But it warms my heart that we could hand over this large amount of money to someone clearly so deserving of it,” says Wendy Graaf, Group Marketing Manager of Piggs Peak Casino.

This player is understandably a Piggs Peak fan, saying: “I find the site very user-friendly. The games are self explanatory and very easy to play. The support is great, as there is always someone available to help, if you have any queries.” Will he continue to play? “Absolutely! I enjoy playing for just a few minutes every day, just to take a mind break,” he says.
