Online Gambler Wins $5.5 Million



Before you read this story, let me remind you that gambling will not in any way solve any of your economic hardships. I hope we’re clear on this. Now, you may proceed.

When Klaus E. from Finland made a 50 cent bet at BlackjackBallroom.com, an online casino, little did he know that his life was about to change forever. In just a few seconds after placing the bet, his 50 cents turned in $5.5 million. Not bad.

“When I saw 5,556,753 flash on my screen I thought it was a US phone number. It couldn’t be a jackpot, I must be mistaken! So I just got up from my table, went outside to clear my head, and then came back in again for another look… and noticed $5.5 million sitting in my casino account,” Klaus E. said.

He had just made online gambling history as winner of one of the biggest jackpot payouts ever.

Klaus added that he will put his money into investments and would take some break. Flashy cars? He still has to get his driver’s license. [Video interview]
