Essex builder makes UK history with $500,000 win
A builder from Loughton in Essex made gambling history yesterday by winning the largest single jackpot win ever recorded in the UK. The whopping $500,000 windfall was won on 888.com's Treasure Twirl slot game. The 36 year old winner is keen to keep his identity a secret and to date has only told his best friend of the win. He plans to surprise his wife and kids by building them a new home with his winnings. First on the list, however, will be 'a brand new sports car and plenty of partying'.
Commenting yesterday on his win, the father of two said: 'I can't believe my luck - this win will allow me to build the family home I have always dreamed of. Its been a week of partying and drinking to celebrate and I think the news is only just still sinking now. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep my win a secret from the missus, but the look on her face when I show her our new home will be magical. I've always wanted to build my own home, but up until today it has only been a pipe dream. Winning on 888.com has made my dreams come true and just proves that you've got to be in it to win it'.
888.com, the world's number one casino and poker room, offers the ultimate online gambling experience. It is not surprising therefore, that 888.com has recently reached the landmark of 10 million members making it the world's largest casino as well as being ranked as the word's number one online casino and poker room.
