Last Sunday, on Valentine\u2019s Day, a singles mum from Scotland won \u00a32.5m by playing the slots game Festival of Lights Vegas.<\/p>\n
With a \u00a32,50 bet, the single mum from the Western Isles became a millionaire after winning \u00a3 2.5m playing an online casino game.<\/p>\n
Three months before the same lady, who wishes to stay anonymous, had netted \u00a330.000 by playing a different game with the same bookie. According the William Hill\u2019s this is their biggest payout ever. A spokesperson from William Hill said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, by our reckoning is the biggest sum that a William Hill customer has ever won. It is an incredible, life changing sum of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/p>\n
After winning she said: \u201cIt is all still so surreal. You obviously play these games, hoping to win a couple of quid, not a couple of million. I\u2019m still stunned.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The winner, who beat odds of more than 1.000.000 to 1, is in her early forties and other than booking a ticket to Disneyworld for her seven year-old son and herself, she has still no idea what she will do with the jackpot.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was washing the dishes this morning and thought to myself \u2013 \u2018no matter how much money \u00a0 you have, you still have to wash the dishes.\u2019\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cI might get a kitchen extension so I can fit the dishwasher. I\u2019m glad I have the half-term off to get my head around it. I\u2019m going to be sensible and take my time deciding what to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
