Powerbucks Fan Sees Better Days with CA$1,032,791 Jackpot at Casino du Lac-Leamy

Lottery jackpots might be a popular topic for discussion across Canada but there are other jackpots available everywhere that also have the potential to change people’s lives for the better. Powerbucks slot machines available at premium casino venues offer the opportunity of a quick windfall, such as the latest fortunate event at Casino du Lac-Leamy. A player hailing from Outaouais won jackpot reaching CA$1,032,791.

Nowadays casino venues have become synonymous with diverse offerings and excellent opportunities for bagging a windfall if Lady Fortuna has it in the plans. This could mean that the gaming tables usually available on site have been extra generous to the players, or that the slot machines have proven their entertainment potential with a grand jackpot. Powerbucks is among the preferred progressive jackpots that unite players from across Canada.

Casinos Feature Progressive Jackpots

An enthusiast hailing from Outaouais is forever going to remember July 25 as a special date, since this is when the grand jackpot was claimed via their Powerbucks slot machine. Sometimes life gets in the way of our plans and unexpected things could happen. It is safe to say that the Casino du Lac-Leamy enthusiast had no idea that their life would change in a matter of minutes.

For the time being, Loto-Quebec has not revealed the winner’s identity and only their place of residence. The minimum amount of cash that could be won thanks to this offering is CA$1,000,000 and this progressive jackpot features the excitement of team efforts towards a bigger and better goal. It could be recalled that earlier this month the good news of a CA$2.1-million Powerbucks jackpot was announced.

Andy and Marlyne Dumoulin of Prince George were playing at their preferred gaming Location Treasure Cove Casino, taking turns on the slot machine. The husband was able to win some CA$300, but when it was time for Marlyne to try her luck, the machine spelled Jackpot bonus, resulting in the cash windfall. It was all possible with a simple CA$3 spin.

The Year 2016 was a Special One

Soon after that casino staff congratulated them and let them know that this is the largest slot machine jackpot claimed in Canadian history, making it an even more memorable event. The two of them bagged their grand prize at the British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s headquarters in Kamloops several days later with a ceremony and an interview. The two of them shared their plans for the foreseeable future, including early retirement and quality time with the family.

It could be recalled that September 2016 saw international gaming giant IGT ink a collaboration deal with British Columbia Lottery Corporation for the introduction of the multichannel Powerbucks progressive jackpot. It meant that some 33 gaming facilities overseen by the Crown corporation introduced the new offering both in-person and online via the PlayNow platform.

British Columbia and Manitoba kickstarted the innovative gaming action, essentially making Canada more competitive to the US with its new offering. May 2017 saw a CA$1.7-million Powerbucks jackpot being won at Casino de Montreal. Last year was another successful year for the progressive jackpot, as a player at Chances Castlegar was able to bag some CA$1,101,989.79.
