Man wins second biggest jackpot ever
While he may not have broken the world record, a Finnish man from Helsink has something to
cheer about following his huge jackpot win.
Online Poker reports that the man won the second highest online slots jackpot in history,
worth $8,780,151, from the Mega Fortune jackpot, which launched in 2008. The record for the
highest jackpot is $15,844,900. The unnamed man had been playing on Paf.com before he hit
the big jackpot, which happened after a four-month buildup.
Paf.com, a nonprofit organization that focuses on putting money to good causes, began its
online casino in 1999.
"We are a gaming company that was established with the sole purpose of generating money
for good causes and we have already donated €160 million over the years," Anders
Sims, the website's PR manager, told the news provider. "It's a real honor for us that
such a huge jackpot has been won on Paf.com."
According to InterGame Online, this is not the first time someone has won off of Paf. Last
year, a man from Sweden won $6,961,550 off of the site, making it the biggest jackpot ever
won in Sweden.
