$205,000 Chinatown jackpot winner at WinADay plans trip to Olympics in Rio
19 Jan 2015
This is one of the frequently-won jackpot’s bigger payouts, part of a trend toward larger and larger jackpots. The lucky jackpot winner says she’ll use her winnings to go to the Olympics in Rio and to buy her mom a new car.
“I’ve always wanted to go to the Olympic games so now I can seriously look into going to Rio next year,” Allison told a WinADay customer service rep. “The money will also come in handy as I want to buy my mom a new car.”
“I love Chinatown but there’s so many other fun games that I enjoy,”
said Allison, who’s been playing at WinADay since 2012. “I played the new Castle Siege most over the holidays.”
The jackpot winner’s advice to other players? “Switch games if you feel unlucky on a particular game. Find one that suits your current mood and luck. If you still don't feel lucky, take a break and play another day.”
Most of WinADay’s instant play casino games are tied to one progressive jackpot. It’s hit quite frequently and, for a long time, was usually won before it got much higher than $150,000. This is the third in a row, however, that’s over $200,000.
“We’ve seen a definite trend,” said Michael Hilary, WinADay’s manager. “There are more and more people playing, so the jackpots are getting bigger and bigger.”
In August, Sascha K from Germany won $226,053 playing Slot 21 which combines slots and Blackjack. This isn’t the first time that the jackpot has been won on the Chinatown slot. Not long ago, Vera M., a young mother with a fascination with anything Chinese, struck it rich playing the Chinese-themed game. Her $255,462 win was a record-breaker at the time.
