Verna B. won $29,819.20 progressive jackpot playing SupaJax Video Poker at The River Belle online casino on Apr. 20, 2003. She also won $49,166.00 on Treasure Nile on Feb. 13, 2002 at Showdown Casino. "Next year I want to take a trip to London. I went there two years ago but only for one week. Now I can stay for two, maybe even three weeks!" said the winner. SupaJax is a Microgaming Video Poker game based on Jacks Or Better and offers you a chance to win a progressive jackpot starting at $5,000. The recent winner Verna B answered the following questions of a Jackpot Madness manager: What was your initial reaction to your big win?
I was having so much fun playing I hadn't even thought about the jackpot. When it popped up I sat and stared at the screen for 10 minutes. As a matter of fact I haven't played it again because I like to look at it once in a while. Needless to say I didn't sleep much that night.
How long had you been playing on the day you hit the jackpot?
Before I hit the jackpot I had been visiting all the different games I like and playing all of them for a little while.
How long has it been since your last win?
It has been quite a while since I've had a big win. I was beginning to think that luck had deserted me and maybe I should find a new hobby.
What keeps you coming back?
I enjoy the playing! Even losing isn't so bad if it takes a long time. As I said before, I had been only losing lately but there are a few games I really like and I keep coming back to play them.
Tell us how your first win has influenced your life. Will this win be any different?
The first time I won I decided you didn't have to be anyone out of the ordinary to win. If I could win, anyone could win! As long as I enjoy playing and am lucky, I'll keep playing.
Did you do anything different this time?
Sometimes when I play I get really intense. This time I was having little wins all along and was really having fun with the game. I got so involved I forgot completely about the jackpot and when it came up I just watched the screen and shook for a while!
