Gardener Rakes in $1 Million Jackpot on PartyCasino2007-06-08
Elyshia P.
Brian Somers, a 39-year-old self employed landscape gardener has won a record PartyCasino jackpot, winning over $1 million with an 18-cent spin!
Brian makes around $10-20,000 a year with his landscaping business, but he won't need to work anymore after taking down the PartyMega progressive jackpot on the Super Fortune Wheel game at Party Casino last week. Brian's win was also a world record jackpot from such a tiny wager – 18c for $1,092,957.68! Brian deposited $100 into PartyCasino the day before for a bit of fun, and it ended up being the smartest investment of his life. "All of a sudden the screen started flashing," said Brian. "I was asked to choose six smiley faces. Four revealed golden dollars and the ticker at the top of the screen started to race and all these numbers came up. It said I had won over a million dollars. I thought it was a mistake. I turned the computer off and even unplugged it. I then logged back on saw $1,092957.68 on the screen and got on the phone and they said 'your balance is over $1 million dollars sir.'" "The way I see it is that this is the perfect amount of money to win. I will just be more relaxed in my life going forward. I've just got a permanent smile on my face, like those smiley faces that brought me my win! I'm the luckiest man alive." "I got my mate Stevie to come around, who was doing some painting and decorating next door. He was more excited than me as I was in complete shock. I was speechless. Stevie didn't go back to the painting that day - he just left the pots on the floor in the house next door." Brian is a father-of-one, and most of his family live in the local area of Sunderland, United Kingdom. "I'm hoping to use the money to make myself and my family secure for the rest of their lives. I want to buy a house, go on holiday and get a new car. I also want to expand my gardening business. I have turned down jobs because I hadn't got one of those big motorized mowers and definitely want to get one of them," Brian added. "I will give my Mom whatever she wants. I want to do a nice job on her back garden - get a new patio and some nice garden furniture. I've done the front garden already but now I've got enough money to do the back." Brian supports Sunderland FC in the English Premier League and his team has just fought their way back into the Premiership division. Football season tickets are expensive in England, but Brian can now spoil himself and support his team as they fight to stay in the Premiership. A spokesperson for Party Casino said: "We've seen some big winners in our time but for someone to win so much from just 18 cents is truly remarkable and is a record win. Brian is a great guy and deserves it. We wish him and his family all the very best for the future." News CategoriesRSS xml feed
