While Ontario did not make it to the top three regions in terms of jackpot payouts, a local player secured the biggest BetMGM progressive jackpot for the year
Online betting & gaming powerhouse BetMGM announced that 2025 has been a fruitful year for its players across North America, who won over a hundred million in progressive jackpots.
The Operator Awarded Multiple Six-Figure Sums
In its announcement, the operator said that its online players across the NA region have won a staggering $122.1 million in progressive jackpots in 2025 alone. These included many six-figure sums, as well as a few seven-figure windfalls.
According to BetMGM, Michigan was the key frontrunner when it came to winnings, with locals winning a total of $42.6 million in 2025. Pennsylvania players came in second with $29.7 million in progressive jackpots. New Jersey, on the other hand, saw players win $23.5 million from BetMGM’s games. The Canadian province of Ontario was not far behind with $21.5 million in progressive jackpot money (CAD 29.5 million) shared among local BetMGM players. Rounding up the top five was West Virginia, where players won $5 million.

The lucky player won $1.1 million (CAD 1.6 million) from the operator’s MGM Grand Millions game in April. However, the player did not stop there and won another big prize from the same game only a few days later.
