No jackpot for me
But I think it is great to see that it has been hit
As Pulver has mentioned in another thread, Norwegian newspapers are reporting that it is a Norwegian guy who won the jackpot...with FREE SPINS
I asked them and it was confirmed.
I really hope they take off the WR from his win
Any link to news article or press releases?

Thanks for link.
He didnt win the jackpot on the free spins according to the article.
He won NOK46 on the free spins but continued playing and on his 11:th spin after that at a bet of around €0.5 he won the jackpot.
Nice way for someone at the age of 20... he will have a fun life for sure.

Staggering 92.4 million kroner fell into the account of a man in his 20s from Hordaland ( Norway ) hit the jackpot in the game Mega Fortune Saturday morning at the gaming company Betsson.com.
The winner logged on 01.12 CET on Friday night and found 10 free spins on Mega Fortune on his betting account. In these 10 free rounds as the player won 46 NOK - Then he played 11 rounds with 4 NOK bet and won the MEGA FORTUNE Jackpot!

Yes, I first thought he won it with free spins (edited my post). But as you wrote, it looks like he won the jackpot by using his winnings from the free spins.

I did not find the press release from Betsson, but here is something from an article in a Norwegian newspaper (I used Google translate on it, so probably badly translated )
- It is absolutely incredible. I could not believe it and had to call my brother and some friends. It has not gone up for me yet. I did not sleep until 6:00 because of the shock, and was up again 07.00. It is impossible to sleep, and right now I sweat and I tremble. So I'll just take it easy with the money still says record winner of Betsson.com.
The man says to Betsson that he had been on the cinema night before, went home and took the PC in the room to engage in pastimes before he was going to bed. When he logged on at Betsson he discovered that he had been free spins.
- Normally I play the odds, but I have seen how big the jackpot was and thought I'd test the free spin late as a little pastime, and it was the a shocking experience, says the big winner.

I married a norwegian man, I woke him up to ask him, it wasn't him DARN IT! lol
I really hope this young man will invest and save most of this money, what a great way to start out your adult life. My biggest fear is that this will "fuel" his disire to gamble thinking he can win anything now.All to often I read that in the paper how someone won the Cribbean Stud jackpot at the local casino and in less then 6 months are broke.
A big WTG goes out to this young man, I happy for him and damn I wish he was the Norwegian I married!!

Record winner:
- I couldnt beleive it!
A student from the comunity Hordaland came home after a night out an wanted to spend a bit of time on Betsson.com after watching a movie. That decision made him 11.7 million euros richer this morning.
-This is unbelivable, I didnt beleive it and had to call my brother and a few friends’ the record jackpot winner told Betsson.com
”It hasn’t really sunk in yet. I couldn’t sleep until 06:00am due to the shock! I woke up at 07.00 again. It was just impossible to sleep, and i am shaking and sweating. I haven’t thought about what to do with the winnings. i need to try and calm down before even thinking of what I do with the money!’ says the 20 year old male.
We talk about the record night and he says that after watching a late night movie he took his computer and went in to his bedroom.
He quickly found free spins from a recent Betsson Casino campaign in his account for the game Mega Fortune – that offers an enormous and atractive jackpot.
”I usually play in Bersson’s brilliant Sportsbook, but i saw the huge sum of the jackpot and thought “Yeah! Lets give the free spins a shoot and see what happens”. It was a shocking experience when €11.7m dropped before my eyes” – the winner says with a smile.
”Not even in my wildest fantasies did I ever think I would win that €11.7m jackpot. But it has happened and i am over the moon about it.
The winner has asked for and will receive expert financial advice from professional independent consultants provided by Betsson.com

Super Hit - Shows you, its all about LUCK... Some people may have spent 1000's thinking its about to crack and some dude goes in with Free Spins and cracks it.
The statement in Bold... without any disrespect... is laughable. Mega Fortune is THE MOST BORING Progressive Jackpot on the market. Playing Thunderstruck at 0.09c a spin with no progressive excites me more
..Congrats to the winner!!!

The chances of winning the Mega Fortune jackpot is probably like winning the national lottery. Some people plays with too high expectations. As you said, it is all about luck. Tens of thousands of people have probably gambled on this game in recent months, millions of spins has been played and only one player hit the jackpot. Nobody who plays this game should "expect" to win the big one.
Yeah so let's just throw out some numbers here.
If the jackpot is, on average 10 million, then the casino is going to want to make at least 20 million before that happens.
So you gotta have a 20 million bankroll to take this seriously.
And if you do, you will lose half of it....
What a great video! I love the [back to the game] button. Should probably read: [back on your seat, calm down]
lol or " call medics now "
