44-year-old Arron Freeman bagged a £11.5 million jackpot and received the biggest payout in 58-year-history of Betfred after playing an online slot game with a stake of just £1.50
A scaffolder has claimed a record-breaking £11.5 million jackpot on Betfred’s online slot game, Mega Moolah. Arron Freeman, a 44-year-old father of two, won the prize after placing a £1.50 stake.
The life-changing win happened on June 5, Thursday. It is the biggest payout in the 58-year history of the company. In spite of becoming a multi-millionaire, Mr Freeman, who runs ASL Scaffolding says he wants to sell his story so he can build a homeless shelter. In a press statement released after the win–in which Mr Freeman was not named, it emerged the winner opened an account after a family night out and decided to give the online casino a go.
While playing the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot game, he turned a £1.50 spin into £11,498,211.89. Fred Done, founder of Betfred called him to offer his congratulations and invited him to Old Trafford as his guest.
Betfred’s newest multi-millionaire said, “It’s still sinking in, but it was class of Fred to phone me. He told me to look after my cash and that is my plan. I’m looking forward to meeting Fred at a Manchester United home game. Hopefully, we will both celebrate if the reds win.
He added, “I’ve been a horse racing punter my whole life and hit the crossbar a few times with some of my accas but obviously never hit the jackpot like this. It was the missus’ idea that we gave the casino a go and we certainly got lucky. I love racing so I will still have a bet on the horses, but it will still be my normal small stakes.”
