Keith R, Jackpotjoy’s biggest ever winner, was left in shock on at 11:42 on Saturday morning after he scooped a staggering £1,365,996.64 playing Deal or No Deal online.
“On the day itself, I was working on the market and I headed home early – it was just so cold and quiet. My wife offered me a coffee and I switched on the computer and saw the banner for £1.3 million. I just knew I had to give it a try.
“Almost before I knew it, I had five numbers left - £14, £16, £40, £200 and the jackpot. I knew it wasn’t gonna make it easy, but I picked another 3 numbers and found myself looking at £200 and the big one.
“Then the offer came in at £362, and I knew there was no-way I’d take it! So I said No Deal and the box came forward and … the moment itself was weird … I kinda knew I’d see £200 in the box and I was fine with it. Completely fine with it.
“But then … coming from out of the box, came the number: £1,365, 996.64 and … I mean … Everything changed.”
Keith – a married market trader with a daughter – is currently deciding what to do with the life changing sum of money.
“It’s amazing, I’ve got enough to pay off all my debts – and still have change to buy a new house. I can’t believe this has happened. Nothing will be the same again.
“I think the only way to sum it up was to repeat what I wrote in chat after I’d won: This is a mind numbingly life changing event.”
We’re pleased to wish Keith and his family the best of luck for the future.
