Sportsbet.io player wins record $42 million jackpot

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A lucky Sportsbet IO player has won the largest slots jackpots in history, turning a single $50 spin into an incredible $42 million prize.

The player was placing bets in USDT cryptocurrency on Alchemy Gaming’s Wheel of Wishes slot on Sportsbet.io when the 42,100,000 USDT jackpot dropped on 20 December. The huge prize was one of Games Global’s WowPot!™ progressive jackpots, which begin at 2 million euros but regularly grow to be much larger, with a small part of each bet made on the game added to the pool.

Sportsbet.io is respecting the winner’s decision to remain anonymous, but he said that he couldn’t believe it when the winning spin landed. “At first I thought it was a mistake, but when it sank in that I’d won more than 40 million dollars, I was running around the room shouting and celebrating.”

He added that he still hasn’t decided what he’ll do with the huge prize. “I’m taking things slowly and not making any big decisions just yet. All I know is that my family will never have to worry about money again. Not in a million years did I think that relaxing with a few spins on my favourite sportsbook and casino would change everything. I’ve been playing with Sportsbet.io for years, and it has proven to be the best decision I’ve ever made.”

Alex Haig, Director at Sportsbet.io, passed on his congratulations to the winner, noting that it was the largest ever prize won from a single spin on an online slot.

“We couldn’t be prouder to see a Sportsbet.io player win the biggest prize in online slots history,” said Haig. “This is a life-changing win, and as with all winners that enjoy Sportsbet.io, he was able to withdraw his prize quickly and securely in less than 90 seconds.”

On top of the incredible prize, the winner will be flown to London for dinner with the Sportsbet.io team, followed by a game in the VIP box Newcastle United Football Club, where Sportsbet.io is an official club partner.
