Yet another major win in New Jersey
An individual named Justin based in Plumsted, N.J. turned just one cent into over $70,000 last week, while last January one bettor took home over $500,000 after putting down roughly a cup of coffee’s worth of money at just $1.50.
“Memorial Day and the start of summer at the Jersey Shore has definitely turned the heat up on Jackpot Season. It’s been an amazing two weeks with our Big Sunday Jackpot winners cashing under a buck into life-changing money,” said Grant Williams, Hard Rock Digital’s SVP of Casino. “Jackpot Season is the gift that keeps on giving for our players with amazing stories of big wins off the smallest of wagers.
He added, “Congrats to Shanetta, and thanks for playing at Hard Rock Bet Casino.”
According to Hard Rock Bet, the Big Sunday Jackpot guarantees at least one weekly prize of at least $50,000 between 12 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET every Sunday, with the jackpot growing larger throughout the day as play continues ahead of the 10 p.m. deadline.
“It’s not just more games, it’s a commitment by our team to building the best experience in the market,” Williams said this past January. “We’re engaging our players like never before with promotions, personalization, rewards, and exclusive gaming experiences from top providers that you can’t find anywhere else.”
