Congratulations Kathy!

Another Manitoban has harnessed the power of lightning and won the Thundering Jackpot on PlayNow!

Kathy S. of Winnipeg won the Thundering Grand Progressive on March 28, 2025, a whopping $212,626.14!

“I don’t even remember what was on the screen at the time it all happened,”

She laughed as she tried to remember the game’s winning symbols while in the PlayNow Winners Lounge.

“I was just so excited and nervous. I was in complete disbelief when I saw the amount on the screen!”

The Thundering series of games, including Thundering Horseman, Thundering Shenlong, Thundering Gorilla, and Thundering Blaze, has become a fan favourite on PlayNow. Each game features a lightning bolt scatter symbol, which charges the in-game Thunder Cloud with every appearance. Once the Thunder Cloud is full, it can unleash exciting win opportunities like upgraded respins. With its electrifying gameplay and thrilling progressive jackpots, it’s no wonder the Thundering suite continues to captivate players like Kathy.

Kathy’s $7.20 spin on Thundering Blaze activated two lightning bolt symbols, which increased her lightning count and contributed to filling the game’s Thunder Cloud. That progression triggered the Grand Progressive Jackpot, awarding her an impressive $212,626.1!

Kathy, who signed up for PlayNow during the pandemic, is still considering what to do with her windfall. She will likely put some towards her retirement fund, and is considering home upgrades and travel as options too.

Congratulations Kathy!
