Klaus E. was playing at the popular Microgaming casino Blackjack Ballroom.
One click on the "spin button " and two seconds later, the reels aligned, the screen lit up and Klaus E. was $5.5 million (£2.80 million) richer. As simple as that !!
In an interview with Casino Rewards, Klaus revealed the moments after hitting the amazing jackpot.
"When I saw 5,556,753 flash on my screen I thought it was a US phone number. It couldn't be a jackpot, I must be mistaken. So I just got up from my table, went outside to clear my head, and then came back in again for another look and noticed $5.5 million sitting in my casino account!"
Klaus soon realized it was no mistake, and certainly no telephone number. He had just made online gambling history as winner of one of the biggest Progressive Jackpot payouts ever.
"I got a phone call from Casino rewards support who were very reassuring and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Australia to pick up my winnings cheque. In Sydney, the Casino Rewards team took me to the wildlife park, the aquarium and a restaurant by the Opera House. The highlight of my trip? Apart from collecting my enormous check, it was having my photo taken with a koala!"

Whilst most jackpot winners choose to splash out on flashy sports cars, mansions and expensive designer labels, sensible Klaus has chosen a wiser option for his cash.
"I don't want any sports cars, as I don't even have a driving license, but maybe I'll invest. Oh, and some holidays too!"
