Gambling can be an extremely lucrative venture. Over the years, several players have hit it big by playing at the comforts of their homes. New online casinos Jackpots and part icularly progressive jackpots offer hefty payouts that can transform gamblers into instant millionaires. Here is a list of 10 of the biggest jackpot winners in history.

Biggest Jackpot Winners

Slots are known for their progressive jackpots. Winning jackpot slots online isn’t something unheard of, but a Finnish native took these winnings to a new level. This lucky Fin was gambling at the Scandinavian site PFA in January 2013 with only 25 cents. He wagered on NetEnt’s powered Mega Fortune progressive slot and landed €17,861,800.

Mega Moolah Shatters Records

In October 2018, a gambler playing Mega Moolah at Grand Mondial Casino struck a massive €18,915,721 million. The lucky player won this gargantuan pot by only wagering some insignificant amount. A British soldier also won the Mega Moolah pot in October 2015. He was wagering 25p per spin and won £13.2 Million.

While playing Mega Fortune at Betsson.com, a Norwegian man won €11,736,375. The pot was won in September 2013 when the said winner decided to wager after struggling to sleep. The jackpot was at the time inducted to the Guinness World Record for the highest payout. However, this record has long been shattered.

Alexander Wins €8.57 Million

The generous Mega Fortune jackpot came in handy for a Swedish player named Alexander in November 2015. At only 30 years, the lucky man scooped an €8.57 million windfall. He was playing this NetEnt’s powered slot at Folkeautomaten. No wonder the name given to Mega Fortune as the millionaire maker.

Microgaming’s Mega Moolah is infamous for its online progressive jackpot. This pot delivered one of the largest progressive slots wins to a mobile user in April 2017. The anonymous gambler was wagering at Tipico Mobile Casino with only $7.2 per spin. This small amount certainly paid off enormously when he scooped €6.92 Million.

iPad Gambler Gets €6.62 Million

While playing at Zodiac Casino on their iPad, a gambler using the initials D.P. hit €6.62 Million. The win occurred in August 2016 and remained among the most impressive prize to be won on an iPad. The win is even more ridiculous given D.P.’s initial deposit of €1.

In November 2012, a woman landed €7.6 million while enjoying Hall of Gods at Unibet Online Casino. Another progressive jackpot win occurred in April 2015. The anonymous player was playing Hall of Gods at Betsson when they won €6.56 million. The Hall of Gods title also paid a Norwegian €6.48 million in June 2017.
