Lightning Strikes Twice as Ontarian Wins Two Jackpots in a Row
The lucky Ontarian was reportedly playing MGM Grand Millions, a branded slot game exclusive to BetMGM Casino platforms in the province of Ontario

An incredibly lucky Canadian has won two huge jackpots in the span of a week, walking out some CAD 2 million richer. Both jackpots were won from a game exclusive to BetMGM Ontario, once again demonstrating the operator’s commitment to helping players win big.
Lucky Ontarian Wins Two Jackpots in a Week
The lucky Ontarian was reportedly playing MGM Grand Millions, a branded slot game exclusive to BetMGM Casino platforms in the province of Ontario. MGM Grand Millions is a 5×3 slot game that celebrates the MGM brand and features its signature golden lion.
The first of the two jackpots was reportedly won on April 21, on a $20 spin. This was the news-breaking CAD 1.6 million ($1.16 million) jackpot which made headlines in April.
Then, less than a week later, the player won a separate CAD 442K ($302K) jackpot on a $15 bet. This brought the grand total of their winnings to over CAD 2 million (over $1.45 million). These life-changing prizes confirmed that lightning can strike twice after all.
BetMGM Sets New iGaming Records
The April 21 progressive jackpot was a part of The Big One, a jackpot pool related to 19 proprietary Entain-developed games. In addition to MGM Grand Millions, players can also play for the jackpot by playing the likes of Bison Fury, Melon Madness and Loot’em Khamun: The Dead Sea Scrolls, among other games.
In April last year, a US player won a $6.5 million jackpot thanks to The Big One feature. The player in question was playing Fruit Blaster and won the prize on a $200 bet. This was, at the time, the largest jackpot in the history of the legalized online casino industry in the United States.
Coincidentally, the CAD 1.6 million the Ontario player won in April, was the largest jackpot BetMGM has ever offered in the province.
In other news, Ontarians are betting big on the Stanley Cup as the Edmonton Oilers inch closer to winning.
