Estonian man hits record €6.6m jackpot for Optibet online casino

The news of a really big win came unexpectedly from Finland. There, a 30-year-old native of Estonia wrote his name into the history of local gambling and online casino Optibet, capturing the largest jackpot ever for the platform. The jackpot amounted to €6,597,136.

The Estonian secured such an impressive victory in the Mega Moolah all slots which is popular all over the world. That evening he spent on the game a total of 30 euros. The win was secured with a modest €3.75. Remarkably, in that situation, the probability of hitting the jackpot was 1:185,000,000.

"Up until this point in my life I had never been a winner, there had never been a win in my career. This win is a big surprise. Yes, I don't visit gambling establishments very often, but this time I got really lucky," said the lucky winner of €6.5 million.

According to the newly minted millionaire, he wants to use the winnings for his own needs. First, the bank denied the winner a loan for the purchase of a flat, so the housing issue is of maximum relevance to him. Secondly, such a large sum of money will now enable him to gain independence from lending institutions and build the big house of his dreams on his own.

"My project is already ready. Now the way is open for me to realise it. I am really happy," the Estonian admitted.

It is important to note that this victory was the second largest jackpot ever won by Estonian citizens. On the first line was a victory in 2010 when the ticket Viking Loto brought his compatriot a record win of EUR 10.8 million.

Earlier it became known that the gambling company Boyd Gaming has spent about $ 30 million in May this year to pay out jackpots. The biggest win was recorded in the hotel-casino Las Vegas Suncoast. It amounted to $52,000.

As a reminder, eight BetOnline online casino players shared a jackpot in gambling sites not on gamstop of over $365,000.
