A lucky casino goer from Nassau Country, New York, has won a life-changing jackpot after a visit to the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. On Monday, the guest hit a $483,622.40 prize playing blackjack at the tribal venue.
The visitor won the Super 4 Progressive Jackpot – a prize offered to customers who place an additional $5 side bet on blackjack at the property. The side bet in question is offered on all blackjack tables at Mohegan Sun and is triggered when the dealer’s hand is a blackjack.
The size of the prize depends on the value and suit of the cards in the player and dealer’s hands.
The jackpot, Mohegan announced, was won on a blackjack table located in Casino of the Earth, which sports some 180,000 square feet of gaming and entertainment space. Casino of the Earth boasts 1,900 slot machines, 200+ table games and the Hall of the Lost Tribes, a special room with almost 400 slots and a poker room.
Overall, the Mohegan Sun property boasts more than 300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 4,000 slots and over 300 gaming tables.
This is not the only jackpot the Mohegan Sun property has handed in recent times. Soon after launching the Hold & Spin Slot Zone in Casino of the Sky, Mohegan handed a $100,000 jackpot to a visitor. In the meantime, a Dragon Link HD progressive jackpot at the venue is ripe for the picking, sitting at approximately $1.3 million as of the time of this writing.
Other Lucky Players Hit Jackpot Prizes
In other news, a single mom from South Carolina just won $2 million from a scratch-off ticket. While the woman said that she plans to continue her routine, she added that she plans to treat herself a little bit.
For context, the lucky player bought a $20 200X The Cash ticket while on a trip to the supermarket.
Speaking of continuing one’s routine, a man from the United Kingdom recently admitted that he never told his family about a £4 million jackpot prize he won five years ago. Instead, the man stayed quiet, hired the services of an accountant and even kept his regular job.
The man said that he preferred to keep his win a secret because of an outstanding conflict with his family.
