When the online casino progressive slot game, Mega Moolah, was hit on October 11th, 2011, the lucky online casino player who made the hit won more than 3.8 million. With a win this size, the online casino software company, Microgaming, does not simply send the check in the mail. Rather, there is a special ceremony in which the check is handed over to the winner.

The check was given to the lucky slots winner in Sydney, Australia. The winner, who has chosen to be publicly known as A.D., was given his check for 3,841,871.46 in a short ceremony that took place in a beautiful location that overlooks the well known Sydney Opera House. A.D. was flown in to attend the ceremony and was also entertained at the Aria restaurant before the check was handed over. The photo opportunity took place at the Royal Botanic Gardens and then A.D. was handed the extra large check for more than 3.8 million.

Only once before in the history of the Mega Moolah online casino progressive slot game, has there been a payout that has been larger than this one. A lucky winner in 2008 took home around 5.5 million. While the winners always become millionaires when hitting the Mega Moolah online casino slot jackpot, simply because it is always reset to a value of one million, not all of them win as much as was won in October.

A.D. did not believe that he had won the Mega Moolah jackpot, so he called the online casino customer service department to check whether he had really and truly won it. He describes his experience of winning the Mega Moolah progressive slot jackpot as follows: "I played Mega Moolah, the jackpot screen opened, the wheel was spinning, there were a few segments on which it could have stopped, but that was exceptional and I thought that that could not happen to me... but it did!"

A.D. has some ideas as to what he plans to do with his newfound fortune, but he is certainly not in a rush to spend it all at once. He said: "I plan to give something from my winnings to charity, and then I will help some relatives, my girlfriend ... some more traveling too, that's for sure! I may never stop working ... I may have some other people working for me ... basically I'm not in a great hurry to spend this money."
