Mega Moolah Creates Another Millionaire: €3.2 Million Jackpot for Lucky Player
Published December 9, 2019 by Ivan P
A new millionaire is created as one lucky player strikes gold playing Microgaming's Mega Moolah and landing a huge Mega progressive jackpot to the tune of €3.2 million.
For years now, Microgaming's Mega Moolah has been one of the most popular and most played progressive jackpot slots around - and for a good reason. This game has created a great number of millionaires with its large jackpots, the most recent one being a lucky Genesis Casino player who took home a staggering amount of €3,252,353 on Sunday, December 8.
Right Time at the Right Place
The Mega Moolah progressive network spreads over a vast number of online casinos and any player can trigger the jackpot on any spin. Thus, there is no telling when the main jackpot would strike and everyone who plays the slot is in with a shot.
The player in question was spinning away at €7.25 a spin when they triggered the progressive jackpot feature. They were still far from guaranteed the huge payout as the jackpot wheel contains four different jackpots, the Mega one containing the sum in excess of €3 million. Of all the available spots, the wheel stopped on the single white one and a new Mega Moolah millionaire was created.
Going Strong for 13 Years
Last month, Mega Moolah celebrated its 13th birthday. This progressive slot has been around for well over a decade and has awarded countless staggering wins over the years. Since 2006, the game has paid out in excess of €121 million in jackpots, awarding more than 1.7 million lucky winners.
Of these, more than €50 million went to about a dozen lucky players who took home a seven or eight-figure amount. A total of 570 people have won a jackpot that was €10,000 or more in the span of 13 years the game has been around.
Both Microgaming and the casino have extended their congratulations to the latest winner. In the PR announcing the win, the Microgaming team expressed their pleasure at the fact that another person was able to seize an amazing win on Mega Moolah, pointing out the fact that their progressive network, which contains a number of other slots as well, has paid €1.1 billion in jackpots to date.
