OMG WOW - I just saw this in Finnish online news paper's site ... and wanted to share it with you

Truly amazing!!!

"May, 05, 2008

Earlier this year we mentioned that the progressive jackpot on the Mega Moolah slot machine, available at several MicroGaming casinos, was approaching the $5 million mark. It took another couple of months before it inevitably paid out, but by then it was even larger - $5,556,753.68 to be precise.

In the second half of April, Klaus E from Turku, Finland placed a tiny $0.50 bet on Mega Moolah and became an instant multimillionaire. In an interview with MicroGaming , Klaus lets us know that he was "stunned and shocked" and that his hands were shaking when he realized that the unbelievable had happened.

For his new-found fortune, Klaus plans to pay off his apartment and go on a nice vacation, but first he'll be going to Sydney, Australia to receive an oversized novelty check and be welcomed into the CasinoRewards Millionaires' Club - an exclusive club for players who have "hit the big one."

I am sure this fellow Finn will ...

... for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time

To the winner I'd like to say ... (CC member or not ...)

Well done!!!

Sisters, Monica ...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this story yesterday ...

0,50 bet turned to 5,5 MILLION!!!

I sure would have been shaking too.

Maybe I should start to play slots ... It's mostly just LUCK if you win or not
Poker is another matter - that's a game of skill.
As Guru at PC says poker is all about "good thinking" not good luck
