A good start to the year. This Sunday, January 2, a man won more than 2.6 million euros on a slot machine at the Pasino casino in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux (North). All while betting barely 1.79 euros.
This occasional player won the “Megapot”, a progressive jackpot created in 2009, which accumulates simultaneous bets on 175 machines from 39 casinos belonging to the Partouche group.
It was enough for him to bet less than 2 euros on the machine number 297 to win “2,626,909” millions very precisely.
The lucky winner of this sum also becomes the establishment’s first millionaire.
The man is however not the first lucky of the year. On January 1, a woman won 200,000 euros at the Saint-Malo casino (Ille-et-Vilaine) after having bet 80 cents in a slot machine.
