When called, the victorious one, who is from the community of Hordaland in Norway revealed that he went home after an evening out, watched a film and enjoyed an only a few games on Betsson.com because he couldn’t get to sleep. The decision to play on the net made him 11.7 million euros wealthier. Certainly, it didn’t help him fall asleep, and he confessed that he stayed awaken before 06:00 due to big surprise. As to the jackpot money, the young man said, “I have to try calm down prior to even planning on what I’ll do with the cash!”
The online game which netted him the big jackpot is the appropriately called ‘Mega Fortune’, a slot online game which offers an enormous and very enticing jackpot.
Henrik Persson, the CEO of Betsson, revealed that while he had by no means predicted that his enterprise could be honored with a Guinness World Record, he could not think of a much better record for Betsson to be given the honor. He said, “Breaking the record for a payout to a player is the ideal method to clearly show people that not only can you win huge when playing on Betsson.com, but in addition demonstrates that this is what Betsson is all about. We ensure that our gamers can be extremely nicely rewarded when they win. This is what keeps them returning to our games.”
In the mean time, Huw Thomas, the Head of Betsson.com mentioned that even though Guinness Globe Records was obviously a bit of a shock even to him, it wasn’t entirely unexpected. He stated “Creating winners is what Betsson.com is about. To be given the honor a Guinness Globe Record is a great accolade for the web site and surefire stamp of approval that we hold the most important online jackpots and guaranteed winnings – no matter how huge they’re!”

Jackpot Winner Interview
The biggest jackpot payout in an internet slots game is ?11,736,375 (?10,272,600, $15,844,900), won by a player on Betsson.com on the ‘Mega Fortune’ game paid to an anonymous player in Norway, on 24 September 2011.”
When contacted, the winner, a student from the local community of Hordaland in Norway, said that he went home following an evening out, watched a movie and enjoyed a few games on Betsson.com because he couldn’t sleep. By morning, he was 11.7 million euros richer.
We caught up with our lucky winner to see how things happen to be going for him since September. We’re pleased to determine that he is as well as ever, and is talking about purchasing a new head set. Hearing this, his brother laughs and says that humour is still intact within the family members. The winner goes on to say that perhaps, just perhaps, he’ll consider purchasing himself a
Spotify Premium subscription also.
The winner of the massive jackpot tells us that he had some busy weeks following the win, but that most things are back to normal at the moment. “I had an intense exam period, but I hope and think I did well.”
After his big win on Mega Fortune, the young winner received monetary advice and other practical suggestions from the betting company Betsson.com.
“I?ve been to Malta and I saw how the Betsson group runs, so they have been truly useful.”
We met the victorious one in Bergen on another rainy day and then we joked about how the west price of Norway is the new “Verdal”, as Betsson has paid out jackpots amounting to nearly 150 million in just under two years to that region. Our winner stated “Maybe the weather is the explanation. When the weather is truly poor like this, you don?t have that many choices besides being inside together with your computer.”
The lucky pc on which he produced the win has now been replaced having a new Pc, and the jackpot winner desires to have the ability to relax in the future, with out the media. “There happen to be a lot of inquiries, both from the banks and the media, but I don?t plan to show up within the media. This may be the last interview concerning the prize and all the money, and I hope that the media and other people will respect that.”
During our two hour talk we spoke about some issues he desires to do in autumn, but there aren’t many big upcoming events for the millionaire who following all is just in his 20?s.
He has by no means noticed Liverpool play live, so he’s considering taking a trip to Anfield.
The record breaking winner says that he had issues sleeping the very first week after the huge jackpot win. Very understandable obviously.
This prize is the most a Norwegian has ever won in a bet/game – and also the greatest ever on-line win. In typical understated fashion, our winner says “It?s good to have that title, and to be in the Guinness globe record book!”
