German slots player scoops multi-million-euro jackpot on NetEnt’s Mega Fortune

A German PokerStars Casino player has become an overnight multi-millionaire after landing a €3.5m jackpot on NetEnt’s Mega Fortune.

The staggering sum is the largest ever online win at PokerStars Casino and came from a deposit of just over €2 – see the moment the wheels aligned here.

Mega Fortune has now had eight jackpots of more than one million euros in 2018. The latest lucky recipient, a journalist from Lower Saxony, Germany, had arrived home from work late, at around 9pm, and decided to unwind with a Mega Fortune slots session. He soon landed his life-changing prize – while he was waiting for a pizza to cook in the oven.

“I was numb and disbelieved for a few minutes,” said the chess fan, who had the same shocked reaction from his wife when he shared the news.

They will spend the prize money on renovating their house and buying a holiday home and an SUV van. They will also put aside funds for their two children’s university fees and share some of their new-found wealth among family members.

“After breaking yet another record, NetEnt’s Mega Fortune has once again underlined its legendary status among slots players,” said Henrik Fagerlund, NetEnt Chief Product Officer. “This time it has paid out the biggest cash prize in Stars’ history, with the jackpot swelling the number of Mega Fortune millionaires to eight in 2018.”
