How many times i have played in the past jackpot games. Cant hit any of them Just some small ones to make your roll last a bit longer. You can win such sums in free spins also, so not much of a difference. I hope i can hit a jackpot like that some day
Well, I guess she will stop gambling now that this much money came into her possesion. At least that is what I would do if I won a couple millions with a spin anywhere. Funny that it happened on a - not even that huge - bingosite, I'd never expected they could pay out this big sum of dough, let alone make headlines with it.

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

This kind of win is very nice to see, especially for a person of such status. I'm guessing she probably hasn't invested anywhere near £3 million in the site ( who knows, it all adds up) so a very nice return on investment. Let's hope she makes something of it rather than doing something silly!

I think the game she won on is a slot played on many sites where it builds up a big jackpot,i'm sure I played it on 888.No such luck for me but it's always nice to see a small time player win big and hopefully she won't gamble it away playing high stakes bingo.

How I love to hear these cinderella stories in poker, but I also hate seeing another nobody having all the luck in this world and winning so much, that non of them will ever have to work again, because it always happens to the others.

Is a good story, that we heard maybe a few times, but like above said, the luck sometimes happens, and to some people like this mum, is now a good support to take care of his family, and her self. And if he has a head, maybe use this kind of money in a good way, not in houses or cars or silly things, like others, will can give a better life to her childrens and maybe do not work more , hep de church of there town, associations of needs.
Every on one day have the dream to hit this kind of thing, a jackpot on poker, or euromilions, or other things, but for lot of us is just a dreams, but the dream commands life.

Well she will be remembered by old friends and relatives that have never seen before probably. That is what happens in such occasions when your name goes public. Everyone drops by or calls to wish you all the best, and then oh by the way could you .... lol

I actually don't think this is a good story for people who play slots... It's the kind of story that will convince all other gamblers that it will happen to them eventually, and a lot of cash will be lost.
I haven't read through the link, so sorry if this is a bad observation....
But shouldn't a single Mom have better things to do with their money than playing online slots?

You are right yout however here the 1st. of the month when peoples received their welfare or gov. pension then the casinos are full and we also have slot in almost all bars and they also make there money beginning of the month.
Its to bad but poor peoples think they will get more money in gambling.

I think I should have made the title to this thread "hard working mum hits jackpot" Not sure what it is like in other countries but in the UK "single mum" often gets associated with lazy people who scrounge off the government which is not the case in this story. She was working at the time and seems to be level headed after only buying a £155k semi detached house.
