$559k Win Sparks Fireworks

Congratulations Roger!

Roger D of Winnipeg was playing PlayNow while in his kitchen. He placed a $1.76 wager on 88 Fortunes Jackpot Festival, and all of a sudden his life changed. He saw five Phoenix symbols across the screen, and he won the Jackpot Festival progressive jackpot!

“I was surprised, and a little shocked. I was winning and losing like normal, just normal play, and all of a sudden there were little fireworks everywhere on the screen,” he explained while in the PlayNow Winners Lounge.

He realized he had won the game's progressive jackpot, and he immediately ran to share the great news with his wife.

Roger’s Jackpot Festival progressive win was $559,996.18 - the largest-ever Jackpot Festival progressive win on PlayNow Manitoba. He also won a $20 prize on the same spin because he had connected winning symbols.

The Jackpot Festival progressive jackpot is networked with other sites across Canada, and so the wins can take more time to confirm. After learning the win was confirmed, Roger was ecstatic about the prize win. “It’s a real opportunity,” he shared with a huge smile. He intends to share with his family and invest the remaining winnings.

The happy winner shared that he appreciates PlayNow because it gives him more comfort than other sites. His big win did take a little bit of time to process, but he knew it was coming.

“I know it’s real because it’s from Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries.”

Congratulations Roger!
