One of DraftKings’ online-casino players in New Jersey hit DraftKings’ largest progressive jackpot to date – $1.97 million – while placing a ten-cent bet on Extra Chilli Megaways.
“Congratulations to our lucky player on winning DraftKings Casino’s largest jackpot to date,” said Thomas Winter, DraftKings iGaming North America General Manager. “This record-breaking jackpot marks our second million-dollar winner in the last two months and we can’t wait to celebrate our next millionaire with our exclusive jackpot currently over $1.3 million.”
In October 2022, DraftKings became the first igaming platform in North America to deliver cross-game linked progressive jackpots, available to DraftKings Casino customers in New Jersey. Players have the ability to opt-in and make an additional wager on more than 100 jackpot-eligible games for a chance to take home the winning progressive. Eligible games include such slots as 88 Fortunes and table games such as blackjack and roulette.
