New Jersey Player Turns $2 Online Bet into a $290,000 Payday
The win demonstrates that people can achieve life-changing victories no matter the time or place, Rush Street Interactive’s president said

A lucky player from New Jersey has hit a huge jackpot gambling online. The unidentified Mantua woman was playing the Divine Fortune game during a routine work call when she suddenly won $287,945 after placing a $2 bet.
The player was playing the game on SugarHouse Online Casino’s platform, turning a small wager into a huge payday. Her success not only made her richer but attracted the praise of Rush Street Interactive’s president.
Richard Schwartz, president of RSI which operates the SugarHouse Online Casino brand, congratulated the woman on her huge win. He said that the fact the lucky player hit the record-breaking jackpot “is not just a triumph for RSI but a monumental moment for the entire online gaming industry.”
Schwarz added that the victory shows that online gambling allows players to turn their lives around no matter where they are.
It conclusively demonstrates that people can achieve life-changing victories in the online realm, no matter the time or place.

America Braces for the Next Powerball Drawing
Speaking of jackpots, the Powerball jackpot just soared to $152 million for the next drawing. Set to take place today, the drawing will once again provide Americans with a shot at a life-changing prize.
The prize in question represents an initial payment followed by installments. A cash-out option is also available, although the winner would then take only $66.8 million home.
A day earlier, Relax Gaming revealed that its Dream Drop jackpot series has turned another lucky gambler into a millionaire. The eleventh Dream Drop jackpot winner took almost $3.2 million home, according to the B2B company. According to Relax Gaming, the winner was playing the company’s Volatile Vikings Dream Drop title when he struck the jackpot.
A few weeks ago, another lucky player, this time from Alabama, won the grand prize of the $150,000 A YEAR FOR LIFE scratch-off game from the Florida Lottery.
