YouTube celebrity Jason Jensen escaped the storm in Florida and struck it rich in Biloxi. Like many others avoiding Hurricane Milton, Jensen decided to head west.
He picked the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi as his refuge, and his choice paid off. Not only is he safe, but he also lined his pockets.
Around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Jensen hit the jackpot on a high-limit Dragon Link slot machine, winning $146,250.
Greatness Reinvented shared his excitement about the jackpot win in a video posted on his personal Instagram page.
He is seen in the video playing the game just before hitting the six-figure jackpot. Beware, if you watch the video, he gets caught up in the excitement and drops a four-letter word.
A more recent post on his Instagram story claims he is up almost $300,000 since he arrived.
Who Is Jason Jensen?
Jason Jensen is better known as “Greatness Reinvented.” Known for his generosity, Greatness Reinvented helps others through various acts of kindness, such as giving away money, food, and groceries. He does this in hopes of inspiring others.
His YouTube channel, also named Greatness Reinvented, showcases these acts and has a rapidly growing audience. The channel boasts 858,000 subscribers, nearly 1,700 videos, and over 241 million views.
Milton Expected To Dump 18 Inches of Rain
Jensen was one of the more than 7 million people in fifteen Florida counties that were ordered to evacuate because of the storm. Milton is expected to hit Florida's west coast as a Category 3 storm with winds between 111-129 mph (180-210 kph).
It is forecast to move across central Florida, potentially dropping up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) of rain, before heading toward the Atlantic Ocean. Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Melbourne are in Milton's path.
Many schools and businesses, including casinos across the state, are closed.
The good news is if it stays on its current course, it could largely spare the states that were devastated by Hurricane Helene last month.
Big Jackpots Continue To Hit at Beau Rivage
Jensen's win marks the seventh jackpot of $100,000 or more at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi since March. The most recent $100,000 prize was claimed in August by an anonymous player on a $100 Top Dollar machine after an hour of play and a $200 bet.
In July, another anonymous player from Alabaster, Alabama, hit a $160,000 jackpot on the $100 Pinball slot after just two minutes and four games, also wagering $200.
Let's hope the entire state of Florida has similar luck as Hurricane Milton moves in.
