Two Dollars Turns Into Lots Of Cash For Zaccary C. Who Won $36,512.30 Poker Ride Jackpot.
Zaccary C. won $36,512.30 progressive jackpot on Poker Ride on November 2, 2004 at Aces High online casino. Poker Ride is a new Microgaming progressive game that combines the fun of a popular table card game with a progressive jackpot. The most attractive feature of the game is that you do not only win with Royal Flush, but Straight Flush pays 10% of the progressive jackpot. Zaccary tells:Did anything unusual happen the day that you hit the jackpot?
Not specifically that day, however earlier in January my horoscope said "expect to come into money in early November". I've always laughed at horoscopes - now I'm not so sure. The other strange thing was that I don't like Poker games, preferring slots, and almost never play them. However on that day I had a strange compulsion to play a poker game - and chose Poker Ride as it was new.
How long were you playing before you hit the jackpot?
About 5 minutes on Poker Ride. The first hand was dealt - Ace, ten and queen of diamonds. I thought "hmm, wonder if i'll get a flush (thinking a normal flush). Raised, dealt again and was dealt a king of diamonds. Thought to myself "wow, what are the odds of that". Still didn't expect to be dealt a royal flush. Was dealt again and BAM - Jack of Diamonds. Unbelievable! I was stunned.
How will you spend your winnings?
This came at the perfect time. This money will allow me to be completely debt free, buy a car for myself and my mother (who badly needs one) and invest the rest into my business.
What do you do for good luck?
I always try and help others as much as possible, even if there is no gain for me to do so. Karma!
What piece of advice has most helped you through life?
Believe in yourself and you can achieve anything.
What do you do in your spare time?
Being self employed, I don't have any spare time!!! In the rare occasions I'm not working, I enjoy reading and cooking.
What is your ultimate goal in life?
To develop my business into a large company, employing local people and being know for honest, reliable service.
Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself?
Single, 23, Male. This jackpot will release me from debt and allow an amazing financial freedom I could never have dreamed of before.
