Powerbucks Player's Living Room Turned Into a Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Winner Wanda

$1,000,000.00

Congratulations Wanda!

A Powerbucks player’s living room turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience after a PlayNow Manitoba player won one million dollars! Wanda D won the $1,000,000 Powerbucks jackpot on March 2.

She was playing Powerbucks Bounty O’ Bucks on her iPad while taking a break from the day’s activities.

“The leprechaun was throwing treasure chests into the screen,” she explained while in the PlayNow Winner’s Lounge.

She made it into the bonus round, and had three wheel pointers available at her $2.25 wager level. “The wheel was spinning, and it slowly landed on the Powerbucks jackpot as I watched,” she shared, describing how the win seemed to happen almost in slow motion.

After her win, a box popped up saying she had won and would be contacted about the prize. Wanda shared the exciting news with her son and husband right away. “Everyone was excited. My son said to take a picture, and I was afraid to touch the screen!”

She phoned her extended family to share the great news, and then made supper. “It was a pretty normal evening actually,” she chuckled. “I made our dinner like I do every day. But we did have some champagne with it!”

PlayNow Manitoba offers 12 Powerbucks titles that share the top Powerbucks jackpot, including Powerbucks Arctic Gems, Powerbucks Cleopatra Grand, and Powerbucks Bounty O’ Bucks.

Manitoba players love Powerbucks because every bet is eligible to win either the Powerbucks jackpot or the Powerbucks progressive, and the game theme offers many ways to win at different wager levels. The top Powerbucks progressive can be won on any wager $3 or greater, and wagers $0.50 up to $2.99 qualify for smaller prizes including the $1 million Powerbucks jackpot.

Manitoba’s newest Powerbucks winner is taking time to let this experience set in while she and her family plan how to use the winnings.

Congratulations, Wanda!
