Thinking he had nothing to lose, the man used the free spins – and moments later, he won a small amount cash. He decided to use the cash he’d won to spin on Mega Fortune, a popular jackpot slot game known as “the million machine” due to the typically enormous size of its jackpots.

That’s when he landed the game’s mega jackpot prize, which stood at £8.3million.
“I couldn’t believe it. The first thing I did was call my brother and some friends,” the ordinary-guy-turned millionaire, who wishes to remain anonymous, told a local newspaper. “Not in my wildest dreams had I imagined that I would land the jackpot, but it’s happened. I’m thrilled,” he added.
A similar jackpot slot, Mega Fortune Dreams, inspired by the success of Mega Fortune, currently holds close to £1million. That amount increases daily and can drop any second.
