Sleepless Night Leads to $558k Jackpot

Congratulations Dereck!

PlayNow’s most recent big winner received a big reward for his insomnia.

Dereck D of Winnipeg was unable to sleep. “I was lying awake in bed. I decided to buy a lottery ticket and decided to have a few spins.” He chose to play Megajackpots Elephant King after seeing the size of the jackpot.

A few minutes later, his $22.50 spin randomly triggered the Megajackpots Bonus on Reels 2, 3 and 4. This meant he won the jackpot, a whopping $558,822.33!

“I remember the elephant game. I remember playing it. But I don’t remember winning at all,” he explained, still a bit surprised. Whether he missed it or was just too surprised to see the win happen, our happy winner certainly received a surprise sure to keep him awake even longer.

“I really needed some good news. This felt pretty good,” he smiled as he was interviewed following his win.

The winner told his family right away and celebrated with them. “This is big for all of us.”

He plans to pay some bills and complete some long-awaited home renovations to make his home more accessible and enjoyable for him and his family. We hope he will also be able to get some rest.

Congratulations Dereck! Wishing you and your family all the best.
