SYDNEY, Australia, May 30 /PRNewswire/ --

- US$5.5 million from 50 cents?! Is this the luckiest man online?

When Klaus E. from Finland made a 50 cent bet at popular online casino BlackjackBallroom.com, little did he know that his life was about to change forever!

One click and 3 seconds later, the reels aligned, the screen lit up, the bells rang out...and Klaus E. was US$5.5 million richer! In an interview with CasinoRewards, the group behind BlackjackBallroom.com, Klaus revealed the moments after hitting the gigantic jackpot:

"When I saw 5,556,753 flash on my screen I thought it was a US phone number. It couldn't be a jackpot, I must be mistaken! So I just got up from my table, went outside to clear my head, and then came back in again for another look...and noticed US$5.5 million sitting in my casino account!"

Klaus soon realized it was no mistake, and certainly no telephone number! He had just made online gambling history as winner of one of the biggest jackpot payouts ever!

"I got a phone call from CasinoRewards support who were very reassuring and helpful, and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Australia to pick up my winning check! (...) In Sydney, the CasinoRewards team took me to the wildlife park, the aquarium and a restaurant by the Opera House. The highlight of my trip? Apart from collecting my enormous check, it was having my photo taken with a koala!"

Whilst most jackpot winners choose to splash out on flashy sports cars, mansions and expensive designer labels, sensible Klaus has chosen a wiser option for his cash:

"I don't want any sports cars, as I don't even have a driving license, but maybe I'll invest. Oh, and some holidays too!"
