Probably the world’s best known progressive jackpot pokie, Mega Moolah has created yet another multi-millionaire. This time, the lucky player won a whopping $11.6 million at YakoCasino. Although countless players try on a daily basis, it was Marcus Goodwin’s day to win this time.
Best Christmas Present Ever!
Needless to say, Marcus Goodwin could not contain his excitement after hitting the amazing Mega Moolah jackpot, and why should he? Not everyone gets a chance to win $11. 6 million playing pokies. For the majority of people, this never happens during their lifetime, which is why the lucky few get all the more excited.

Posting a YouTube video to share the good news of his win with the world, Goodwin said he was both shell-shocked and grateful at the same time. The lucky winner said he plans to use the money to buy a big house and go on a vacation to Africa with his family. What he plans to do with the rest is anyone’s guess.
Making Millionaires Since 2008
The Mega Moolah pokie by Microgaming is a progressive game that is featured on all online casinos that offer real money pokie games by Microgaming. This progressive jackpot is shared throughout the network and given the online presence of the company, it is no surprise that head-spinning amounts are reached.
Mega Moolah created its first ever millionaire back in 2008 when a player from Finland won $5.5 million. The popularity of the pokie continued to grow, with the jackpot increasing constantly. Since 2008, a few lucky players every year have had their lives completely changed because of Mega Moolah.
In October 2015, the UK’s Jonathan Heywood won the record jackpot hit of £13.2 million. Four players this year, including Goodwin, have already won massive jackpots on Mega Moolah, although Goodwin is the top winner on the list.
With a month and a half left in 2016, there could still be another lucky player who wins a life-changing jackpot. In 2012, this occurred when a lucky punter became the fifth lucky winner just as the year was coming to an end.
