An anonymous Betfred.com member has just received an enormous windfall that made them much, much richer while also setting the record for the United Kingdom’s largest progressive jackpot prize.
The life-changing jackpot provided the unknown Betfred player with some £5.1 million, an amount awarded after the site member had staked only £1 on a slot game. The anonymous player sat down to a game of Beach Life and, after only six spins of the virtual slots, had triggered the staggering progressive jackpot — an amount that had been steadily building in size before being won. With such a large prize needing to be claimed, the winner was required to receive the multi-million pound cheque in person from Betfred’s founder Fred Done, receiving a trip aboard Done’s private jet. Even more extraordinary is the anonymous player’s earlier luck. Before winning the £5.1 million Beach Life jackpot, s/he had scored £250 through the King Kong slot. Later in the day, the winner became the recipient of the third largest progressive slot jackpot in the entire world.
Done spoke to press about the milestone jackpot, describing his enthusiasm as a bookmaker for “turning someone into a multi-millionaire at the click of a mouse” while adding that “it just goes to show it’s always worth trying your luck.” Players who want to take a shot at winning their own fortune should head to Betfred now to play at Gold Rally, the biggest progressive jackpot (at £838,000) currently available at the site.
