Linda Stephens of New Hazelton got an early Christmas present Dec. 21, winning the $126,500 progressive jackpot on Odds of the Gods, her favourite online slot game on PlayNow.com.
“I was playing and it said I won the progressive jackpot, I just didn’t know how much I won,” says Stephens. “When I went back to the main page it said I had an extra $126,500 in my account and that’s when I started yelling for my husband who was working downstairs.”
How’s this for lucky – it was only her second spin playing the game.
“I had just started playing, and I think it was a $4 spin that I triggered the ‘shield bonus’ and won the jackpot on,” she said. “It’s hard to believe a $4 spin would change my bank account that much!”
Stephens, who owns and operates a small business with her husband in New Hazelton, says most of the win will go towards savings, but down the road will look at replacing her car.
