Highlights
-
Marilyne was playing Pots O’Luck on her computer on April 7 when, as luck would have it, she landed on three pot-of-gold symbols during the free spins bonus.
-
Distracted, she didn’t notice right away that they appeared on the caravan pay line... meaning that the corresponding progressive jackpot of $139,344 was hers!
-
When this sunk in, she was so in shock that she closed the game window. “I didn’t think I’d won that much!”
-
When she reopened the game and saw how much she’d won, Marilyne just couldn’t believe it.
-
The Côte-Nord resident says she has no plans yet, and needs a bit more time to think about how she’ll spend her windfall.
