Top Jackpot Hit at William Hill Casino
A player at Canadian-friendly William Hill Casino has won the biggest jackpot in the site's history after trying his luck on the popular Millionaire's Club video slot game.
Twenty three year old Lien Bailey of Doncaster, UK, wagered just £4.5 ($7) on the slot game at William Hill Casino before he landed the jackpot of £807,313.43 (over $1.2 million).
What makes Bailey's win even more interesting is the fact that within a few seconds after hitting the jackpot, his internet connection was lost, which means that he wasn't even aware of his win, as he didn't bother to go back after he logged off.
Several days later, however, he was contacted by William Hill Casino customer support who told him the good news.
Speaking about the incident, Bailey said: "I was playing the Millionaire's Club on the Vegas slots at WilliamHill.com when the connection went down, and when I went back on, the jackpot had been won, so I never thought anything more of it."
"After William Hill told me that I had landed the money I still thought they were pulling my leg, but when I checked online on the game, the money was in my account."
"I have not been able to go to sleep since, it is amazing and it's completely life-changing for me," he said.
Asked what he will do with his prize money, the player - who is a keen motor racing fan - said that he would probably splurge on a Honda Integra racing car, as well as a new Range Rover. He also said that he'd love to watch football live at Wembley during the FA Cup.
Biggest Jackpot Win at William Hill Casino
According to a spokesman for the site, Rupert Adams, this is the largest jackpot hit at William Hill Casino in history.
"This is the biggest William Hill online game win we've ever heard of," he said, "so as well as winning himself a fortune, Lien has gone in to the record books too."
