A student in Norway just became €11.7m richer at Betsson

Last Friday night (or early Saturday morning) a 20 year old student from Hordaland, Norway returned home after a night out.

He decided to log into his Betsson account and place a few sports bets when the massive Mega Fortune jackpot caught his attention. He also happened to notice that he had a few free spins on his account….so he figure what the heck, I’ll use those free spins.

The next thing he knows, he’s hit the €11.7 million jackpot!

For those unfamiliar with Mega Fortune, it’s a progressive jackpot game (5 reel slot) …nothing to do with live dealer gaming…other than the fact that Betsson also has a live casino. It’s had the attention of the online gambling world ever since it raced past the previous record online jackpot amount quite a few months back.

This win not only smashes the world record for an online jackpot, it also becomes the largest jackpot won by anyone in Norway.

The winner’s name hasn’t been released and nor should it.  But if you happen to be a student at the University of Bergen, keep an eye out for the bloke rolling up to campus in a new Porsche!

Well done whoever you are…I’m sincerely happy for you but also insanely jealous!
