Yesterday we announced that one lucky punter had hit NetEnt’s Mega Fortune Jackpot, taking home a veritable briefcase full of money amounting to €2.5m.
We had no info on who the winner actually was, which casino they were playing at or where they were located, but we promised to keep you updated on anything we heard, and we will do just that…
Today, 22 January, 2014, NetEnt officially announced that the winner is actually a Swedish punter who was playing at Betsson Casino.
It was just a year ago when the Mega Fortune took everyone by surprise when a lucky punter playing from Finland racked up the world’s largest ever online jackpot, worth €17.8m.
This week, a Betsson registered punter from Linköping, Sweden, amassed €2,565,626 playing NetEnt’s most famous jackpot.
Sure, it’s a bit shorter than last year’s, but is still quite attractive to let it pass by.
The Mega Fortune jackpot is nowadays holding over €400,000, although punters may better keep an eye on the Hall of Gods, which has already surpassed the €2m.
As for Betsson, keep in mind that this site has been home to many jackpot winners along the years, having just delivered €6.4m on Hall of Gods back in 2013, and are now holding over €5m distributed on their 4 top jackpot games (Hall of Gods, Mega Fortune, Arabian Nights and Geisha Wonders).
