DraftKings Michigan Casino Now Holds Record $6.5M+ Jackpot
There has still not been news about the jackpot dropping, but the prize is the largest in the history of online casinos in the United States already

DraftKings Michigan Casino has much to be boastful about. The casino has hosted a $6.46 million jackpot over the weekend which is the largest in the history of online casinos in the United States, with the prize already exceeding $6.50 million.
DraftKings Makes History with Online Casino Jackpot
Sharing the news in a social media post on October 19, DraftKings confirmed that the jackpot is still climbing, and there has been no indication that anyone has won the money just yet.
Although Americans are accustomed to hearing about multi-million jackpot payouts, especially in the country which runs both the Mega Bucks and Mega Millions lottery games, and separately has linked wide-area games such as Megabucks slots, the fact that online casino prizes are starting to break such numbers is exciting.
With no winner in sight, and the jackpot still rising, this means that there is still a lucky soul who can claim the coveted prize.
With the jackpot topping $6.5 million over the weekend, the DraftKings Michigan Casino jackpot has obliterated the old record held by BetMGM Casino which saw a lucky patron walk away with $6,450,023 on August 19, 2024.
Of course, nothing quite compares to the Megabucks slot win of $39,713,982.25 scored in Las Vegas back in 2003, but the caveat here is that this was a land-based casino game, and not an online slot, which is what makes it special.
The jackpot now hosted by DraftKings Casino Michigan is exclusive to online casino players in the Great Lakes State, so no one playing beyond the state’s borders can hope to win it. Michigan has already had several big-time jackpot winners with DraftKings.
DraftKings Is Increasingly Grabbing Headlines with Its Jackpots
The largest jackpot won previously in the state on DraftKings was worth $2.7 million on Cash Eruption back in June 2024. Another big jackpot was won in December last year when a player won $2.6 million from Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen.
Although traditionally the stomping ground of BetMGM, online jackpots are increasingly attacked by DraftKings whose online casino offer has significantly strengthened of late. DraftKings has kept fairly silent on social media, but once the jackpot crosses the $7-million threshold mark, the company is bound to make an announcement.
In the meantime, players in Michigan can hope that they have a shot at a life-changing online casino jackpot. DraftKings has also recently launched its new loyalty program, offering customers and players a more comprehensive and rewarding experience.
