Andiamo! Courtenay Man Headed to Tuscany After $1.1 Million Slots Jackpot Win on PlayNow.com

Congratulations Michael!

Winning a massive online slots jackpot has unlocked a whole new world of possibility for Michael K., the Courtenay resident who scored $1,132,698.38 on PlayNow in BC.

Michael won on January 11, 2025, while playing Powerbucks™ Wheel of Fortune Elegant Emeralds at home in his living room.

“My first thought was this must be a mistake because this can’t be real,” said Michael.

He said the first person he told was his mom.

“I told her I thought I had just won a progressive jackpot. She was very excited but also in disbelief.”

While Michael said it feels “surreal” to be a jackpot winner, he said he also feels “fortunate.”

“It means a lot to us as a family,” said Michael, who intends to celebrate by treating his family to a dinner at a “nice restaurant.”

As for other plans to celebrate his new million, Michael has the romantic, rolling hills of rustic Italy on his mind.

“I have always wanted to visit Tuscany and hope to do so in the not-too-distant future,” said Michael.

Congratulations Michael!
