DraftKings Casino recently awarded $9.28 million to a lucky player in Michigan. This marks the largest online casino jackpot in US history. The company confirmed that a player won this historic jackpot on a $0.20 bet while playing Irish Pot Luck. The jackpot started at $1,000,000 and had been growing since February 2024.
