Mother of two wins £1.36 million at BGO

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A 47-year-old job center employee and married mother of two children says she plans to "give up work" after a 25-pence spin landed her one of the biggest mobile jackpots ever won on hugely popular Playtech branded slot game Gladiator.

Playing on her mobile after depositing £30 and playing for 25p a spin, Angela, who is married to a long distance lorry driver and lives in Milton Keynes, triggered the Gladiator bonus round and hit one of the biggest mobile jackpots of the year, worth a staggering £1,365,870.02 on BGO.

Angela won the staggering prize at just before 8 a.m. on Wednesday, 31 May, an unusual time for her to play her favorite slot game, as she would normally be getting her children ready for school. Last week, however, was the half-term holidays for the majority of U.K. school children, and during a brief moment of downtime, she decided to log onto her account while her children and husband were still asleep.

As soon as she hit the multi-million pound prize Angela ran upstairs screaming, waking up her husband, who had been on a night shift.

"I saw the amount and felt like I was in a dream," she said. "I just felt sick and didn't know what to do with myself. It's just completely amazing and will change everything for us."
