Real estate investor makes a great deal

Stephen M. won a massive £234,848 jackpot playing Deal or No Deal at Jackpotjoy by picking box number 14.

"It's the first time I've won anything," said Stephen. "I was just playing on the game and picked a box. I had a calendar near by and saw 14!"

Stephen read about the site in a magazine, signed up and now he's hundreds of thousands of pounds richer. He plans on using some of the money to invest in real estate, but will also be carving out a chunk for a treat for himself as well.

Recently unemployed woman wins massive jackpot

The Deal or No Deal banker's been taking a beating at Jackpotjoy, as Lynn J., won a life changing jackpot of £168,111.

"I still don't quite believe it," said Lynn. "It must not have sunk in yet. I was looking at the screen in bewilderment. My husband phoned with some news and I told him that I had some too! He was stunned and phoned every member of the family. My parents are over the moon for me".

What makes Lynn's win even more special is that it's come just as she needed it, and can now provide her with some financial security as she plans into the future.

"I had just lost my job so it was very good timing," said Lynn. "It now gives me a chance to sit back and think about what's next."

Aside from planning what's to come down the line, Lynn's already got one particular plan up her sleeves.

"I'm not sure what I'll do with the money but there'll be a holiday at some point! We're starting to plan what to do now."

Maxine Q. wins record Diamond Bonanza jackpot

Maxine Q. won £161,889, more than anyone has ever won on Jackpotjoy's Diamond Bonanza.

"It's unbelievable," said Maxine. "I was just playing and thought I'd check my balance. I hadn't even noticed I'd won!"

The surprised winner now plans to put her money to good use and rather than treat herself, help out some charities close to her heart.

"I don't have any plans," Maxine said. "I don't think I'll go anywhere. I'm too busy! I'm really lucky and it's nice to give to others, so I will put some money towards some good causes."

Amazingly, this isn't the first time that Maxine's been so lucky. She's previously won huge amounts including £15,000 and £30,000 playing Bullion Bonanza.
