Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks games provided some good fortune for four lucky players this January. Each won life-changing jackpots.
“Since their inception, both Wheel of Fortune and Powerbucks slots have been synonymous with life-changing wins, and January’s jackpot results highlight the ongoing appeal of these games,” an International Game Technology spokesperson said.
These wins continue the trend of huge payouts from the popular Wheel of Fortune slots. Let’s break each of them down.
Starting the Year Off With a Big Win
The first notable win happened on January 9, when a player at Encore Las Vegas won a massive $1,183,314 jackpot by playing Wheel of Fortune Diamond Spins 2X Wilds.
After placing a $9 bet, the unidentified player hit the spin button and watched the reels go. This win was reminiscent of a $1.5 million jackpot hit on a Wheel of Fortune machine in Las Vegas last December.
Let's not forget that, also on January 9th, a man named Krispin turned a $2.50 bet into a jackpot of over $480,000 while playing a "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine at another casino in Las Vegas.
Canadian Player Hits the Wheel of Fortune Slot Machine Jackpot
Just two days later, on January 11, a Powerbucks player in British Columbia hit the jackpot while playing Wheel of Fortune Elegant Emeralds online and won $792,480.
Powerbucks™ is Canada's first slot game that lets players from physical and online casinos across multiple provinces compete for the same jackpots.
Powerbucks™ offers a fixed $1 million jackpot for bets ranging from $0.50 to $3.
Debuting in 2016, it is a proven jackpot generator, having already paid out 63 jackpots of $1 million or more.
Wheel of Fortune Slot Machine Pays Off Again
The lucky streak continued on January 14, when a player at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, won an impressive $1,374,170 from one of IGT's slot games.
According to a casino press release, the lucky Mohegan Sun guest was betting $3 per spin when they hit the progressive jackpot on a Jumanji machine.
Not to be outdone, another lucky winner hit for nearly $350,000 on a different machine.
Powerbucks Also Provides Multiple Jackpot Wins
Powerbucks came back strong on January 19, when another player, this time in Quebec, won a $699,640 jackpot while playing Wheel of Fortune Ruby Riches.
Since its launch nearly 30 years ago, Powerbucks has made over 1,200 players millionaires and has paid out an impressive $3.6 billion in jackpots.
Because of these incredible wins from the Wheel of Fortune slot machines and Powerbucks, the month might be renamed "Jackpot January." As players keep spinning the reels, it’s clear that the next big win could happen at any moment. We'll see what happens in February.
