“First I screamed and then sat for a few minutes in total amazement, not really able to believe it,” she told Thomas, a LiveChat customer support representative at WinADay.

“I’ve only told my best friend so far,” she said yesterday. “I’m preparing a massive surprise for the family and the grand children though!”

Melissa, a retired widow, hit the jackpot playing the new Olympus slot. Olympus, WinADay’s first 5×4 slot, is a Greek-themed game where the gods of the ancient world reign supreme. Three bonus features increase players’ winnings with extra Wilds and free spins with up to 5X multipliers. A Mystery symbol awards instant cash bonuses.

“Fuzzy, my cat, was the first one I shared my joy with. He’s always around me so he usually gets all the good news first.”

Melissa’s had some nice wins at Win A Day and its sister site, Slotland, over the years – but nothing like this jackpot.

“I’ve been a player for many years, so this wasn’t really a beginner’s luck. I don’t really have any strategies. I set up a gambling allowance and stick to it. I play to have fun. I love playing slots with extra bonus rounds.”

The lucky winner plans to do some house repairs and put some of the money away for her grand children’s college tuition.

“I’m also planning a big family reunion and I want to go to Florida with a few friends in the summer – someplace we can play cards and enjoy some slots!”

It’s only been a couple of months since WinADay’s site-wide progressive jackpot was won. In March, Diane B won $182,430 playing the Tropical Treat slot game.

With the recent launch of the new Ice Crystals slot, a deluxe game with a Trailing Wild, WinADay Casino now has 33 one-of-a-kind premium slots and 18 unique penny slots. With video poker, Keno and Roulette there are 63 one-of-a-kind casino games in all. Most are great on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. Next month WinADay will celebrate it’s 10th birthday with new games and lots of birthday bonuses.
