Jackpot Comes Just In Time For Baby. John B. Wins $16,859.64 Playing Jackpot Deuces At Cinema Casino.
Online gambler John B. won $16,859.64 progressive jackpot playing Jackpot Deuces Video Poker at Cinema online casino on June 7, 2003. "This jackpot couldn't have come at a better time. My wife and I are expecting our second child any day now. When I told her about the jackpot, I thought that she was going to have the baby right then!" said the winner. Jackpot Deuces is a Deuces Wild video poker game with progressive jackpot developed by the leading online gaming software provider - Microgaming. The recent winner John B answered the following questions of a Jackpot Madness manager: Did anything unusual happen on the day of your win?
I hit two royal flushes in one evening! I had deposited $25 and hit a royal flush on Aces & Faces Video Poker. I decided to use some of the $2000 winnings to play Jackpot Deuces. Boy was I surprised when I hit the royal again, in diamonds!
What was your initial reaction to your big win?
At first I sat there looking at the flashing screen. I couldn't believe it. I had never hit an online progressive jackpot before. Then, I ran upstairs and woke my wife up. She came downstairs a little while later to make sure she wasn't dreaming. We took a few pictures of the screen to show our friends and family. We were very excited. It took me a while to calm down enough to take a picture without shaking.
How do you plan to spend your winnings?
Thanks to this jackpot, my wife will not have to go back to work for quite some time, and will be able to stay home with our children.
What do you do for good luck?
I have a lucky shirt, but it's so old my wife will not let me wear it out of the house.
What advice do you have for others?
Enjoy the good things in life, count your blessings, and don't sweat the small stuff.
Describe in detail your dream holiday destination.
My dream vacation would be to travel around Europe with my wife and children and to stop in Monte Carlo.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my family. I also make wine, enjoy home improvement and gardening projects. I also produce videos, and of course I enjoy gaming at casinos and online.
What 3 things would you take with you on a deserted island?
My wife and my two daughters. Need I say more?
What is your goal in life?
My ultimate life's goal is to achieve financial independence so I can spend more time with my family, at home and traveling around the world. Oh... and being a famous producer and wine maker wouldn't hurt.
