A Norwegian man in his 20’s has won 11.7 million Euros, the largest payout on a progressive jackpot to date. The win on the Mega Fortune jackpot slot game was won by the lucky student at Betsson online casino with a stake of just 50p!

Following a night out at the cinema, the young man decided it was too early to go to bed and spent he early hours of Saturday morning gambling online. With 10 free spins on his Mega Fortune account he won 46 Norwegian Kronor and then decided to use his winnings to play on.

He told the online site "This is unbelievable, I didn't believe it and had to call my brother and a few friends. It hasn't really sunk in yet.

I couldn't sleep until 6 am due to the shock! I woke up at 7.00 am again. It was just impossible to sleep, and i am shaking and sweating. I haven't thought about what to do with the winnings. i need to try and calm down before even thinking of what I do with the money!"

I usually play in Betsson's sportsbook, but I saw the huge sum of the jackpot and thought 'Yeah! Let's give the free spins a shoot and see what happens'. It was a shocking experience when Euro 11.7 million dropped before my eyes, he added.

Not even in my wildest fantasies did I ever think I would win that Euro 11.7 million jackpot. But it has happened and I am over the moon about it."
