Following the victory, the Megabucks jackpot was reset and is standing at about $10.012,900 million as of this writing.
A lucky player in Nevada has claimed the Megabucks jackpot, which had been growing for months. His life-changing prize eclipsed Megabucks’ previous payout in the state.
Over a year since the last Megabucks jackpot
The gamer, who wished to remain anonymous, won a whopping $12,371,365.15 at the Virgin River Casino & Lodge in Mesquite.
According to the release, the player won the jackpot while playing Megabucks Triple Red Hot 7s Spitfire Multipliers slot. What made this win even more unusual was that it was won with a $5 wager, implying that the payout exceeded the original investment by 2.47 million times.
As previously stated, the progressive jackpot had been accumulating for some time. Prior to the recent victory, no player in Nevada has won the top Megabucks reward since October 2023, when a lucky player scooped the previous $12.1 jackpot. In short, the current award had been building up for more than a year.
Justin Moore, chief executive officer of Mesquite Entertainment, which manages Virgin River Casino & Lodge, congratulated the anonymous winner on his life-changing windfall. He stated that the current jackpot demonstrates the excitement and opportunity his property provides.
There’s nothing like the thrill of turning a small bet into a life-changing moment, and we’re proud to be a destination where players can experience that.
