Ladbrokes online casino punter in biggest-ever win

A punting porter (pictured right with his wife) has scooped the largest
ever payout by the world's biggest bookmaker – with a stake of 20p!

Ted Reid, 40, pocketed a whopping £743,897.43 when he landed the jackpot at the FIRST attempt on an internet slot machine game at staggering odds of 3,718,801 to 1.

Dad-of-three Ted bagged the cash on the Major Millions game at Ladbrokes Online Casino after a late night gamble.

His winning total is the highest Ladbrokes has ever handed over on a bet in 120 years and the largest in British Internet history.

Ted, from Aberdeen, has worked for the NHS for 20 years and is currently a manager of the portering department at the city’s Royal Infirmary.

Despite his newfound wealth he says he’s got no intention of retiring from the job he loves. But he is hoping to buy his wife and fellow porter Kathie, 46, a new car.

He said: "I just couldn’t believe it had happened to me. I sat staring at the screen thinking ‘this must be some kind of mistake.’

“Then it slowly dawned on me when I looked at the jackpot total and the new balance on my account that it was all mine.”

Major Millions is a progressive 'fruit-machine' game where players compete against each other online to win a jackpot made up of all the losing bets.

Jackpots, which start at around £250,000, continue to grow until there's a winner. The more people that play, the quicker the jackpot grows.

Players can choose to play from 1-15 win-lines with each one costing 20p to play. They must play win-line 15 – and stake £3 in total - to have a chance of winning the jackpot

The NHS worker added: "I’d never played the five-reel version before so I decided to give it a go. I only spent a few quid in total and was going to call it a night when I won over £100.

“But on the last spin the Major Millions signs kept dropping and it slowly dawned on me that I’d won the jackpot. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me!”

Ladbrokes Online Casino currently boasts over 100,000 registered customers and offers over 100 different games.

Major Millions is the web's biggest jackpot slot game and has paid out almost £10 million in jackpots to 27 winners since it was launched in April 2002.

Previous Ladbrokes Online Casino winners include air traffic controller Michelle Black who won £201,000 on Major Millions in October 2002. She then scooped another £70,000 on the Fruit Fiesta game in April 2004.

Michelle, of Manchester, was inspired to play by gambling granny Anne French, of Ipswich who won over £131,000 after staking just £4.50 on the turn of a reel.
