Mega Moolah Jackpot worth 3.5 million won at Grand Mondial Casino Mobile

One of the most exciting aspects of writing for Mega Moolah is you can be doing something completely unrelated to the site, when all of sudden news breaks that someone somewhere has won the big jackpot prize.

That is very much the case this morning as I was busying myself looking forward to the potential release of the Mega Vault Millionaire game, the latest Mega Moolah powered progressive jackpot slot, only available at casinos part of the Casino Rewards group. It was while I was looking into this game that I saw something unusual.

The Mega Jackpot had reset back to its minimum seed amount of 1 million. A jackpot had been won on mobile at the Grand Mondial Casino!

There are only two possible things that can cause this, either the game has glitched and Microgaming are working on resolving it, or someone has just won a life-changing amount of money by landing the Mega Moolah Mega jackpot prize and it looks 99.9% certain that this is very much the case.

What do we know about the latest winner?

Of course, given that the latest winner only landed their prize literally a few minutes ago, details on the win are almost non-existent at present. However, we do know one key thing and that is that this winner landed a prize of 3,558,858.68 this morning and they won their prize using British Pounds as their currency.

How can we be sure of that? Well the only time the Mega Moolah jackpot fully resets back to its seed amount is when the jackpot is won using the base currency of the game, which is British Pounds. When winners are triggered in other currencies, such as US Dollar, Canadian Dollar or the Euro, and the money paid to them from the pound balance, there is always extra left in the pot to fund the next jackpot prize.

We also know that when this happens, the jackpot reverts to an amount that is usually more (sometimes considerably more) than the seed amount of £1,000,000. Therefore, a British Pound winner is the only way the Mega Moolah jackpot can reset back to this minimum level.

As yet, details of which casino the player won their prize at and whether they will go public with the win, or remain anonymous (as many winners do) are not yet known but more details may come to light about these matters in the coming days and weeks.

More British success on the Mega Moolah progressive!

This latest British Pound winner becomes the eighth player from the UK (assuming that they reside there and are not just playing using the UK Pound as their choice of currency from another part of the world) to claim the massive Mega Moolah Mega jackpot prize.

Their win is the fifth highest ever awarded to a British player as you can see from the list below:

British Pound Mega Moolah winners - ranked

1. £13,213,838.68 - Jonathan Heywood's World Record Breaking win in October 2015
2. £5,883,044.00 - John Orchard's Christmas win in December 2012
3. £5,543,986.99 - Anonymous Winner - May 2019
4. £3,744,513.08 - First UK Mobile Winner - September 2013
5. £3,558,858.68 - Brand New Winner - October 2019
6. £3,033,701.94 - Anonymous Winner - June 2019
7. £1,778,226.80 - Anonymous Winner. April 2018
8. £1,448,116.31 - Anonymous Winner - October 2017

This latest win also ensures that 2019 will go down as the most successful year for British Mega Moolah progressive jackpot winners to date. Up until this year, we had only seen one British Winner in each of 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2018. However, in 2019, we have now racked up THREE British jackpot winners in a single year, with over £12 million paid out in jackpot prizes between those trio of lucky winners.

In total, British players have landed an amazing £38,202,486.55 in Mega Moolah Mega jackpot prizes since the game began. This is the third biggest amount, in numerical value, paid out to players after winners in Canadian Dollars (over CA$118 million) and the Euro (over €69 million).

When it comes to the luckiest month for British players then it seems that October is the month to play with a trio of winners in October including the largest and smallest winners of a Mega Moolah jackpot in British pounds and then our lucky winner who landed their prize today. The other five British winners all landed their prizes in different months (April, May, June, September and December).

This latest winner also means that we have now reached 10 lucky winners for 2019 and with two and a half months of the year still to go, there is a very real possibility that we could perhaps get close to the incredible 13 jackpot winners Mega Moolah made millionaires back in 2017.

More big wins for Brits!

It has already been an incredible month of good fortune for British gamblers across a wide range of different products and this latest Mega Moolah millionaire is just the latest in what has been a very positive streak of luck for players based in the UK.

We had one sports betting enthusiast land a £200,000 prize for a £5 accumulator bet with his bookmaker in early September. That wasn't the first big accumulator win of the year though as one player correctly predicted the outcome of 20 matches in February this year to earn £185,000 in winnings from his £50 bet.

At the end of September, one lucky British player landed a jackpot prize of over €3.3 million playing the Mega Fortune slot. Then just a week or so ago, one lucky British ticket holder scooped the largest ever Euromillions lottery jackpot prize, when their ticket was the sole winner of a £170 million jackpot prize. Now we can add the latest of three Mega Moolah jackpot winners to that list, all of whom have claimed their prize in 2019.

Other Mega Moolah stats

This latest win was the fifth win recorded in October since the game began and it means that after June (9 winners), May (8 winners), April and November (6 winners), October, along with March and September has now seen five overall winners.

Amazingly, 60% of the winners landed in October have been from the UK, which seems to suggest if you are from the UK and want to hit the jackpot, then October is the month to focus on playing Mega Moolah!

This latest winner also earned their prize at 9.30am UTC, which is the fourth time that the jackpot has been triggered at this early morning time. This is the most popular AM time for jackpot wins and in the later hours from 9pm to 10pm, there have been a record six jackpot wins.

So this lucky British player can now think about having the best run up to Christmas ever and they will certainly be able to afford a few decent presents for family and loved ones on the back of this bank-busting Mega Moolah win!
