Online Casino Player wins Progressive Jackpot
3rd April, 2009
April fools is usually a day of jokes and pranks, but one lucky players at William Hill Vegas won a staggering £114,000! 29 year old Paul Gwilym would have taken some convincing to believe he had won this huge jackpot on April Fools whilst playing an online slot machine.
After ringing customer services first thing on the morning after they confirmed his huge win. Paul only spent 30p on one slot at the popular William Hill Vegas site, but it will undoubtedly be the best 30p he has, or ever will, spend.
He was playing the Pharaoh's Treasure game and won the progressive jackpot after getting through to the bonus round.
"I only had about 40minutes sleep in the early hours of Wednesday morning, I was so excited!" explained Paul. "But it just seemed so unbelievable that I'd won, on April Fools Day of all days, so I got out of bed and called up William Hill just to check it wasn't me being a fool. But it's all true, and it's amazing."
He owns a business in Cardiff and this win will give him the opportunity to expand its operations. He went onto add, "This is such a brilliant opportunity now for me to expand the business, I've got so many ideas and have been waiting for the chance, and this is it."
William Hill spokeswoman Jennie Prest said, "I thought someone was winding me up with an April Fool when they said our big Pharoahs Treasure jackpot had been won that morning, so I can imagine how Paul felt when he realised he'd won! We are delighted for him, it's a huge amount of money to win for such a small stake and we wish him every success."
