Big City 5s Pays Out for Manitoba Resident: Collin W. Wins $91,250 While Playing from Home

Congratulations Collin!

PlayNow player, Collin W., was at home sitting on his couch, enjoying a relaxing evening watching YouTube videos and playing a few spins on PlayNow. More specifically, he was playing Big City 5s.

He had won on a few spins in a row and decided to increase his wager up to $200. All of a sudden, one of his free spins hit a big win.

“I don’t even entirely remember what went on, I was looking at YouTube,” he smiled. “I know there were wilds, I think it was spades. When I saw I’d won, I couldn’t believe it. I kinda questioned it. But I saw my balance go up and I said, ‘well I am DONE!’”

Collin, very aware his $200 gamble may not have paid off, was very grateful while attending the PlayNow Winners Lounge. He won some free spins, and several of them accumulated some significant prize amounts. Ultimately, one of his free spins landed 5 spades, and he walked away with $91,250!

Collin decided to play Big City 5s that day because he remembered the game from a VLT. Big City 5s is one of the most popular games on Manitoba’s VLT network.

“It is pretty different online than in the physical form. You can’t touch the buttons,” he joked. “But it’s still a good game online. Look at what happened!”

Collin is a relatively new player on PlayNow, having signed up only in early 2025. “I haven’t played online much, and this one seemed the most legit to me,” he shared, explaining why he picked PlayNow. PlayNow is Manitoba’s own legal gambling website.

He plans to use his winnings to pay off his bills and set aside money for a car. He hopes to save the rest for a downpayment on a home, likely in his new community of Niverville.

Congratulations Collin!
