PokerStars has seen an unusual streak of Spin & Go jackpots since the end of July, with four massive prize pools triggered in just two months. Together, the wins have paid out a combined $4.25 million to lucky players, despite the astronomically low odds of hitting such multipliers.
The run began in late July when a $5 Spin & Go hit the rare 240,000x multiplier, creating a $1.2 million prize pool. Denmark’s “dillerfar19” took down the top prize of $1 million, defeating Brazil’s “malakaio300,” who earned $120,000, while Belarus’s “KuCoH” collected $80,000 for third.
Just days later, another $5 Spin & Go produced the same one-in-10-million result. Argentina’s “Anatsuk334” turned a $5 buy-in into $1 million, with Switzerland’s “StephanShakes” and Ukraine’s “Grozovalra” taking home $120,000 and $80,000, respectively.
Early September brought a third jackpot, again at a $5 Spin & Go, worth $1.2 million. The United Kingdom’s “Gwaugh1” won the tournament in just 18 minutes, beating Hungary’s “Kepes89” heads-up, while Denmark’s “g3treal” finished third for $80,000.
The most recent jackpot occurred on September 24 in a $25 Spin & Go Max event, where six players shared a $650,000 prize pool after a 26,000x multiplier hit. The UK’s “visiontechno” claimed the top prize of $500,000, with the runner-up earning $60,000.
PokerStars dotcom Poker Director Ashley Chase praised the recent wins, calling them a reminder of the excitement the Spin & Go format can generate, noting that players never know when a routine game might turn into a life-changing payday.
