Winaday Slot Player Wins $185,000
Friday , October 21, 2011 : Grandad will invest some of his big win in family education
Win A Day Casino.com’s latest jackpot winner, Joe H., says he’ll use some of his $184,060 jackpot win to pay down family debt, but will also be thrilled to be able to help his grandchildren with their education.
But the self-employed grandfather said he also plans to set plenty aside to enjoy playing casino games and to do some Christmas shopping.
The winner was playing the new Pyramid Plunder slot machine on Monday this week when he spun the winning combination. Fortunately he had at least $5 wagered on that lucky spin.
“I just had a feeling, when I sat down to play on Monday. I had a hunch it was going to be a good day,” he said. “I often just wager five or ten cents a line so I can keep playing longer. But when I’m feeling a little bit lucky like that I often bet a little more. So I had $1 bet on ten lines when up came all those Pharoahs!”
Although the Win A Day jackpot was hit for a record-breaking $225 000 in June, the average win is about $160,000 making the latest win one of the largest this year. All but one of Win A Day’s slots games are tied to one progressive jackpot but this is the first time it’s been won on Pyramid Plunder.
“It’s going to be hard not to splurge on my kids and grandkids this Christmas, that’s for sure,” said the winner. “But I think even once a few bills are paid, and I’ve put some away for my grandchildren’s college fund, I’ll still be able to afford to be generous.”
Pyramid Plunder has been one of Joe’s favorite games since it launched last November. It’s a 25 pay line slot machine with three opportunities to win bonuses: an animated Scarab beetle that gives a second chance for a winning combination; a Mummy that shifts its reel down by one or two symbols to create additional winning combinations; and the Chamber of Treasures bonus game where players can win cash and free spins.
