One lucky DraftKings Casino user had their Thanksgiving dinner plans, and perhaps more notably, their entire life, changed forever on Wednesday morning.
Key Takeaways
- An anonymous DraftKings Casino user in Michigan won a record $22.4 million jackpot Wednesday, marking the largest in U.S. online casino history.
- Hit on a $0.20 bet, the record setting jackpot more than doubled the previous $9.28 million record set earlier this year.
- Bettors looking to follow in the unnamed winners footsteps will need to wait a while, as the progressive jackpot was re-seeded at $5.7 million following the historic win.
The unnamed individual is based in Michigan and won an historic $22.4 million.
The Jackpot represents the largest ever win in U.S. online casino history.
“Setting another record for the largest U.S. online casino jackpot is a major moment – and it speaks to the incredible experiences we’re creating for our customers,” said Christian Bogstrand, executive vice president and general manager of iGaming at DraftKings.
The incredible win, which passed a previous record set by DraftKings in February, also in the state of Michigan, was perhaps most incredibly won on a $0.20 bet on Huff N’ Even More Puff, the minimum eligible bet.
“Topping $22 million is a milestone we’re proud of, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering a best-in-class gaming experience,” Bogstrand added. “Congrats to the winner!”
