A Blackpool punter has become an instant millionaire after scooping the first jackpot ever on the Wolf Gold 1,000,000 scratch card game with PlayOJO, the fair online casino, only four days after the site first introduced scratch card games to its line-up.

The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is an NHS carer in her mid-twenties. She smashed the odds of winning the jackpot (one in 10 million chance) by cashing out with the game’s star prize with only a £20 spend.

She landed the major prize earlier this month and became the first millionaire of 2020 with PlayOJO UK. The previous largest single win on PlayOJO this year was in April, when a player landed a prize in excess of £420,000.

Peter Bennett, Head of Brand for PlayOJO, which is challenging the UK online casino market with the likes of Non Gamstop Casinos by being fair and transparent, said: “We are delighted to announce our first PlayOJO millionaire of 2020! We have been offering UK players the chance to play at the fair online casino since 2017 and are thrilled to have an NHS worker as our first millionaire winner of 2020. We have sent our congratulations to the player and hope that she enjoys her winnings’.
