For the fourth time since it was launched, the William Hill Bingo site has made someone into a millionaire. Yesterday a regular client, who wishes to remain anonymous, won an unprecedented £1,566,056.97 while playing one of the side games on the popular bingo website.

The man, who wishes only to be known as “Simon,” won the massive prize while playing the Clover Rollover progressive jackpot slot machine. The spin only cost him a pound, and when the reels came up with 5 clovers, he was “astounded”. This is thought to be the biggest single payout ever made by a UK-based online casino for a lots win.

The Clover Rollover slot was introduced in March this year, and this is the first time a player has won it – the jackpot has been growing steadily since its inception. Now the process will begin again; the slot machine jackpot has been reset at £100,000, and players are once again trying their luck, hoping to emulate the incredible win.

In a press release, “Simon” is quoted as saying, “I’m actually quite speechless, it is a bit of a shock. But this amount of money means so much, it’s truly life changing. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it all yet, just take a few deep breaths and have a think before I make any decisions.”

Whatever he decides to do, the win certainly is life changing. These are economically uncertain times, with many people feeling hard pressed by the global recession, but this is one man who will have complete freedom to pursue whatever avenue he wishes.

William Hill is a land-based casino operator that was one of the first UK companies to recognise and embrace the online gambling trend, well before it became popular to do so. It continues to expand its online assets, and in the last twelve months, William Hill’s websites have created three other millionaires.

First, a man from Oxfordshire celebrated last Xmas with a £1.1 million progressive jackpot win. Soon after, a man called Fred Crags cleaned up a tidy £1 million on a horse accumulator. In May this year, a Sussex man hit a now legendary winning streak at Roulette that netted him £1.4 million.
