William Hill crowns fourth millionire in a year

12 November 2008

ENGLAND -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- William Hill have crowned their fourth millionaire in a year with a record online payout, after a Hampshire based client scooped the £1.5 million Clover Rollover jackpot on the William Hill Bingo website yesterday.

The massive jackpot is believed to be the largest online slot payout in the UK. The client who has made the record books, only identified as 'Simon', is now exactly £1,566,056.97 richer after his £1 spin landed him a line of 5 lucky shamrocks and probably the best early Christmas present he has ever had!

Hills spokeswoman Jennie Prest said, "This is one chap who won't be worrying about the credit crunch when it comes to buying his friends and family Christmas presents! The Clover Rollover jackpot has been growing and growing and once it hit £1.5million we were really excited about when it might be won. It's been terrific to have that sort of payout up for grabs and hopefully the jackpot will grow to a similar amount again."

Although Simon doesn't want to be identified any further, he is astounded and delighted with his win. He said, "I'm actually quite speechless, it is a bit of a shock. But this amount of money means so much, it's truly life changing. I'm not sure what I'll do with it all yet, just take a few deep breaths and have a think before I make any decisions."

William Hill's first millionaire came the week before Christmas last year when a man from Oxfordshire won £1,1 million progressive jackpot on williamhillcasino.com. He was followed by Fred Craggs who won £1million with an extraordinary 8-horse accumulator and then a winning streak on roulette landed one Sussex client £1.4 million last May.

The Clover Rollover progressive jackpot has been steadily growing since the games inception on the William Hill Bingo website in March and it hit the record £1.5 million last week. The jackpot has been reset starting from £100,000 and will begin to grow again.
