Online slot machines player, Klaus E. from Finland has made online gambling history with an incredible $5.5 million jackpot win.

Small fry
He made a modest 50 cent bet on the online casino, Blackjackballroom, which changed his life forever.

Telephone digits
In an interview with Casino Rewards, the company behind Blackjackballroom, the lucky winner described his reaction to hitting the jackpot:

"When I saw 5,556,753 flash on my screen, I thought it was a US phone number. It couldn't be a jackpot, I must be mistaken. So I just got up from my table, went outside to clear my head, and then came back in again for another look ... and noticed $5.5 million sitting in my casino account."

After reality had set in, he was flown to Australia to pick up his winnings. And what was the highlight of his trip apart from getting his hands on his enormous cheque? Having his photo taken with a koala at the Sydney wildlife park.

Saving for a rainy day
