In that instant, they became the biggest online UK progressive jackpot winner and the third biggest-ever worldwide! Soon after winning the jackpot they were flown out on a private jet to meet Betfred.com founder Fred Done to be presented with the cheque.

The really exciting part along the way is that players could be rewarded for playing their favourite game with a share of £50,000 in free bets and bonuses. Including in week one, a share of £25,000 literally dropped at random into lucky player accounts.
