Online gamer scoops £1.1m on £3 stake
Soon after a Slough resident won £100,000 on the back of a 5p stake at williamhillbingo.com, a 55-year old man has become an instant millionaire after striking it lucky on the bookmaker’s online casino.
The Oxfordshire gamer, who wished to remain anonymous, scooped the jackpot after laying down just £3 to play the online slot machine game ‘Millionaires Club’ on williamhillcasino.com.
While it was instantly apparent that he was going to get a good return on his money as the ‘bonus game’ feature came up, the electrician was shocked to see the reels fall into place and to learn he had won a cool £1.1 million.
Jennie Prest, a spokeswoman for William Hill, commented: “It certainly tis the season to be jolly for our ‘Mr X’, winning such a life-changing amount just before Christmas.
“It’s our second huge payout in the space of two weeks and Mr X goes down in history being our first Millionaire from the online casino. William Hill is full of Christmas cheer and we are delighted for both our winners.”
The lucky player said that the win has changed his family’s lives and revealed that he is set to splash out on an extra-special Christmas.
