A woman in her 70s from Eskilstuna won over 700,000 kronor on the progressive jackpot slot Mega Moolah at Svenska Spel. The win landed on a Saturday evening after just a handful of spins, according to a press release from Svenska Spel.

What’s new

A woman in her 70s from Eskilstuna won 702,881 kronor on the casino game Mega Moolah last Saturday. Around ten in the evening, she decided to try her luck on Mega Moolah at Svenska Spel’s casino with a stake of 6.25 kronor per spin, and it did not take long before something unexpected happened. She recalls she had not managed more than four spins before the win appeared.

She wanted to be sure she had seen correctly. She went to the bedroom and woke up a friend who was visiting to confirm the win, asking the friend to check she had read the screen right. The screen eventually showed 702,881.90 kronor.

What it means for you as a player

Mega Moolah is built around four progressive jackpots known as Mini, Minor, Major and Mega. These are so-called network jackpots, meaning players at different casinos jointly contribute to growing the same jackpot pool. So it is not only Svenska Spel’s players filling the pot, but players across several online slots connected to the same network.

The jackpot can, in theory, be triggered on any spin. The progressive jackpots in Mega Moolah are awarded randomly during the jackpot bonus game, which can be triggered on any spin, regardless of the bet size or outcome of the spin. That means a small stake, just like in this case, can produce a large win – but it says nothing about the odds of it happening again. Jackpots of this size are rare and should be seen as entertainment, not a way to make money.

The bigger picture

Mega Moolah launched in 2006 and built its reputation during the Microgaming era, but is now distributed through Games Global’s games portfolio. Over the years the game has become one of the best-known jackpot slots on the market, and is available at several Swedish-licensed operators, including Svenska Spel.

The Eskilstuna win is not an isolated event. Svenska Spel has recently published several similar winner stories: a woman from Eslöv staked 10 kronor and won over half a million kronor on the game Bill & Coin 2 Dream Drop, a woman from Gagnef municipality won 1,732,563 kronor on Eurojackpot, and a woman from Hägersten won 1,766,335 kronor on Lotto 1. Together, these wins show how often large sums are paid out at licensed Swedish gambling companies, even though most players never win anywhere near this much.
