A slots player from New Zealand has hit a €6.5 million (NZ$10 million) Mega Moolah jackpot, becoming the second top prize winner so far this year after another fan of the game snapped up €6.5 million in April. Rawiri Pou, a 27-year-old from Matamata, a village approximately 160km (99 miles) from Auckland, scooped the massive sum on Friday 17th June. Initially he won NZ$1,500 while playing the classic slot at an online casino, but then decided to let his bets ride, which is when he unlocked the massive jackpot and changed his life forever.

He accepted his giant novelty cheque for the lump sum this week, saying to gathered members of the press that ‘I still can’t believe this is real, I’ve been in shock since I won and it is literally going to change my life,’ adding that the win ‘couldn’t have come at a better time’. He has no plans to quit his job at a local KFC, but did say that he had a lot of ideas as to how to spend the cash.

John Quinn, Microgaming’s Head of Casino, commented: ‘To be able to deliver frequent life-changing jackpots to our operators’ players is certainly a highlight of the job.’ He also congratulated Pou on the life-changing win.

Mega Moolah, a progressive jackpot slot from Microgaming, was launched in 2009 and offers four different jackpots, with the Mega jackpot generating mind-blowing wins that can reach eight figures.
