Luckiest Online Game Wins Of All Time; Who’s Next?

Lady Luck

We all know those people who just seem to be lucky: the traffic lights they hit are always green, they always get the very last bag of their favorite cookies at the store, they never miss the start of their favorite show, even if they’re running late (which is unlikely because all their traffic lights are always green!) and they win in every competition they enter. Now imagine this lucky friend of yours decides to try their hand at online gambling; what do you think the outcome will be? A win, of course! Some people really do have Lady Luck on their side, and when you’re betting or playing online casino games, that’s a huge bonus. Let’s take a look at some lucky game winners who took home the biggest wins of all time.

Georgios M

Georgios M, a very lucky Greek who loved to play online slots, was rewarded for his time with a mind-blowing jackpot win of 6.3 million Euros in March 2009. He won this life-changing amount while playing at the River Belle Online Casino, and while we don’t know what the thirty-six-year-old businessman did with his winnings, we’d be willing to bet he’s having a great time! Georgios was ranked the highest Microgaming casino winner of the year.

Hall of Gods

The gods were certainly smiling down on a lucky Swedish woman, who claimed the highest jackpot ever awarded by an Ubinet casino back in 2012. The 7.6 million Euro jackpot was won while she was playing her favorite slot game, The Hall of Gods. Odin certainly was looking out for her that day!

John Haywood

When twenty-six-year-old John Haywood sat down to play Mega Moolah slots one day in October 2015, he could not have known that it would be a life-changing moment for him. The young British soldier hit spin, and when all was said and done, he had walked away from Betway Casino with 13.3 Euros in prize money. The most exciting part about this story is that John was not a seasoned Betway supporter: this huge win came only twenty-five minutes after he had opened an account with the casino for the first time! He held the record for the biggest win on Mega Moolah until 2018 when a lucky anonymous winner took home 18.9 million Euro on the same game.

Elmar Sherwin

Sometimes, the people who win jackpots are not only lucky but also very deserving. This is undoubtedly the case with Elmar Sherwin, a World War II veteran who won not only one but two jackpots over the course of his life. His first win came way back in 1989, at a newly opened brick and mortar casino in Las Vegas. He won a whopping 4.6 million dollars. Elmar used this money to travel the world and to continue one of his much-loved hobbies: gambling on slot machines. Elmar was rewarded once again at the age of 92, with a 21.14 million jackpot won while playing online. We hear that Elmar took home this win after betting one to fifty million – talk about luck!

One and Done

All it took for Johanna Huendi to win 22.6 million dollars was one bet of $170 and a lot of luck. Johanna was a Megabucks newbie and took a chance on a game that looked like fun. Lady Luck was undoubtedly by her side that day, as she hit the jackpot after only ONE spin!

Lucky Number 67

A sixty-seven-year-old flight attendant took a chance and put a $100 bet on a spin on the Megabucks slots – and she won! The third time was a charm for her, as she had lost her first two bets. But her persistence paid off in the form of a 27.6 million dollar jackpot. This just goes to show that age is definitely not a factor in luck, and fortune can choose any moment to smile upon you.

Happy birthday, Mom!

Cynthia Jay-Brennan chose the day of her Mother In Law’s birthday to give slot games a whirl, and boy did it pay off. Cynthia surprised everyone, including herself, by winning a whopping 34.95 million dollar jackpot: a number that, at the time, was the highest won on any slot EVER. Unfortunately, Cynthia’s story does not end entirely happily for her. She immediately quit her job to travel the world with the love of her life, but tragedy struck soon after. Cynthia ended up in an accident that paralyzed her and took the life of her sister only a few weeks later.

Wrap Up

Luck can strike anywhere, at any time; all you have to do is make sure that you’re taking the chances that might allow her an open door!
