More often than not one’s life could change in a matter of seconds with a simple choice a person makes. A player hailing from Outaouais, Quebec is now one of Canada’s latest gaming millionaires that has Casino du Lac-Leamy to thank for his riches. The man put in CA$1 on a Powerbucks gaming device and ended up winning CA$1,000,000 jackpot for his involvement with it.
Powerbucks progressive jackpots are among the preferred gaming activities for many Canadians and they are often drawn to the devices if those are available. The generous cash payments they could make as time progresses outweigh the originally placed bet. Such was the case with a Quebec player who was more than ready for the big cash, but had no idea what the future holds.
Casino du Lac-Leamy
December 14 was his lucky day, as this is when he made his way to the premium casino location. It is located about fifteen minutes away from Parliament Hill in Gatineau and ever since its launch in 1996, it has been a preferred gambling hotspot for people of legal age. The winner was ready for some gaming action to take place, but he was not prepared for what happened next.
He placed a winning bet of CA$1 and quickly realized that it might be the bet of a lifetime. The slot machine lit up and started sending the celebratory message that its player is now eligible for a cash payout of CA$1,000,000. Casino staff present on site of the casino venue made their way to the winner and congratulated him on his grand jackpot.
Employees of Casino du Lac-Leamy were quick to prepare the celebration at the private room available on site. This is where the Powerbucks winner celebrated his jackpot, while he was still trying to comprehend the situation. The winner’s family also made their way to the casino location for the grand celebration and a good time with the casino staff.
Jackpots Galore
Ever since its introduction to Canada back in 2017, Powerbucks has been a popular gaming opportunity bringing progressive jackpot to a whole new level of excitement. Its progressive nature makes it possible for players hailing from British Columbia, Quebec, and Manitoba to bag impressive jackpots, generated via their joint efforts. Machines located in these three provinces are interlinked for maximum jackpot prizes.
The progressive cash pile is at its minimum amount at CA$1 million, but there is both a static and a progressive offering associated with Powerbucks. The former offering also amounts to some CA$1 million. The Gatineau player had the opportunity to place the minimum bet of 50 cents, but he chose the CA$1 instead. It could be recalled that the month of July saw a similar story take place at the very same casino.
A player hailing from Outaouais won jackpot reaching CA$1,032,791. He would forever remember July 25 as a special date, for this is when he came a step closer to his jackpot. It could be recalled that earlier that month the good news of a CA$2.1-million Powerbucks jackpot had been announced. Andy and Marlyne Dumoulin of Prince George were playing at their preferred gaming Location Treasure Cove Casino, when they bagged the grand prize.
