This week would go down in history as a generous one for players ready to make a move and bag their cash prize. Andy and Marlyne Dumoulin recently made their way to Kamloops and British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s headquarters, where they bagged their CA$2.1-million slot machine jackpot. The record-breaking windfall became instantly famous as the largest one won up until this point in British Columbia.
All eyes are usually set on the prize when it comes to casino gaming, as premium venues across British Columbia come with premium gaming machines loaded with cash. Slot machines jackpots are not a thing from the past, even though many people associate the devices with regular cash winning and nothing more substantial.
Millionaire Family Collected Prize
However, at the end of the day, this is the main goal of slot machines, something the Prince George couple could confirm. The lottery corporation needed some time to organize everything in the best possible way, eventually announcing that the two of them would have the chance to bag the prize on July 18 in Kamloops.
Yesterday Mrs. Dumoulin revealed more about the special moment and everything that unfolded. She pointed out that even smaller stakes could result in substantial cash prizes. The two of them commenced gaming action with as little as CA$3 on July 13 and they were enjoying themselves at the Treasure Cove Casino in Prince George.
Mr. Dumoulin who ended up bagging CA$300 made the first spin and saw it was a successful one. He decided to give his wife the chance to spin the wheel, as they had a couple of free spins left. Hoping for the best, Mr. Dumoulin agreed and hit the button. The next few seconds ended up rerouting their life, as the slot machine displayed ‘Jackpot bonus’ message, but nothing more specific.
Plans for the Foreseeable Future
This is when all of a sudden the machine switched off and casino staff members approached them knowing very well that the jackpot was hit. At first, the couple was unaware of the amount they had won. The exact amount the Dumoulins received this Thursday amounted was CA$2,152,860.49.
It has been clarified that this is the largest slot machine jackpot to be bagged in Canada, which called for a great celebration. The two of them have spent the past few days planning their foreseeable future and everything they are going to purchase and achieve with the windfall. Mr. Dumoulin was supposed to retire at the beginning of next year, as he has spent years working as a truck driver.
Now that the two of them are millionaires, he could retire sooner than expected and enjoy his time in the best way possible. The Powerbucks jackpot is a progressive one that is generated with joint forces of people hailing from Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The cheque bagged by the two players had Mrs. Dumoulin’s name written on it, as her spin ended up being the winning one.
