If you were to ask a casino player about their greatest aspiration, you would likely hear, “To win the jackpot!”
However, for the majority of them, this usually turns out to be a dream. Only a small percentage end up winning big.
Most winners choose to be anonymous, possibly for security purposes, but some are known. Here are people who have won the big online casino prize.
Fantastic Finnish Fortune
In 2013 a 40 something Finnish man scooped a whopping $21million for a 25 cent wager.
This was another progressive slot win but this time on the NetEnt favourite, Mega Fortune. He was playing at the PAF online casino in Scandinavia when the life changing win happened.
He is reported to have laughed and cried with shock and surprise when he realized what had happened. However, he chose to remain anonymous.

He struggled to come to terms with the win saying everything felt ‘surreal’ but was thrilled to be able to help with care for his sick father.

Win and Tell?
So if you won a fortune, would you tell?
Or would you rather stash the money away and keep it secret.
It seems most of our online winners don’t tell the world but slip quietly away to spend their money. What would you do?
Also it seems that Mega Fortune and Mega Moolah are the luckiest pokie machines to play on if one is chasing the big jackpot!
Biggest win: $21 milion at Mega Fortune in Paf casino!
