Identified as Billy R, the player was in town, celebrating his birthday with friends, in what will turn out to be his most memorable experience ever visiting a casino! The winning cards were 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, Jack, and the Joker, which filled in for the missing eight, resulting in the massive win.

The prize is adjusted to the rarity of a straight flush. In fact, this is the hardest hand to get in a game, and the odds are pretty slim: 1 in 4.8 million.
