Jim L Sets New Online Record With a $1,683,526.64 Win

Published : 19th of July, 2003

The records are getting broken this year at an amazing rate online and offline. IGT's Megabucks just paid out a $39,713,982.25 win in March making it the world record win paid by a slot machine. While the online jackpots are not nearly as big they have still been setting records.

First we had Ronald H. win $1,626,184.56 breaking the online jackpot record held by Tony P. with his $1,594,694.21 win in 2002. It took nine months for this record to be beaten. No just a couple of months after Ronald's big win and Jim L has hit for $1,683,526.64 - beating Ronald's record by $57,000. He was playing at The Lucky Nugget, one of 70 Microgaming powered casinos.

All three online winners won their big cash prize on Major Millions. So how does it feel to win such a huge prize? "It was just a regular day. I came home from work, sat down to relax and play a little. Once the jackpot hit, I just sat there and stared at the screen for about 15 minutes. I was totally numb. Then I got up and danced around the house. I couldn't believe my eyes."

Major Millions is the only slot machine online to have paid out million dollar jackpots. To qualify for the jackpot you have to play the max bet of $3 per spin and to win it you need to line up three or the wild Major Millions logos on the third pay line.

Two of the winners, Jim L and Tony P have shared some of their tips for success on the slots. "Always play within your means and look for the Microgaming symbol at any casino you play." said Tony in an earlier interview. Jim had some different advice, "Just do what's right and be the best person you can be. That's what I try and do."

On to the fun part, does Jim have any plans for the money? "I would like to build a new house. I want to either remodel or rebuild the home we are living in now for my 81-year old mother and I will build my dream home. My 15 year old son still doesn't know about this. He'll go bonkers! I am going to put some of the money away for his college education."
