Mega Jackpot Hits Again at PlaySugarHouse in New Jersey

A New Jersey woman hit a $61,000 jackpot playing online at PlaySugarHouse.com just one week after the site announced that another player had hit the same jackpot for $161,000 after his first slots spin ion the site. Neither jackpot is record setting, but the back-to-back hits are noteworthy.

The Divine Fortune Slot at PlaySugrahouse.com—the New Jersey online site run by Philadelphia’s Sugar House Casino—seems to be red hot as a New Jersey woman hit a progressive jackpot of $61,000.

That’s a nice payday, but hardly a record for the state. Still, it’s notable that the exact same slot game hit the same progressive Mega Jackpot for another player who was taking their first spin on a slot machine at the site just last week. That payout was $194,000.

The player, Anibal Lopes, a 33-year-old superintendent for a construction company, is the biggest winner at the site since playsugarhouse.com entered the iGaming market in NJ in September 2016.

“We are very happy for this latest winner that comes just one week after we had our biggest jackpot win since launching playsugarhouse.com a year and a half ago,” said Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive, the sites operator said in a press release. “This is good for us and for the entire online gaming industry, showing that it is possible to win life-changing amounts online.”

This is the fifth time Divine Fortune, a video slot game set in the days of ancient Greece, has hit Mega Jackpots for playsugarhouse.com players. The first was in May 2017 for $13,950. The second and third were both in September 2017 for $91,680 and $46,096. The fourth was just last Monday for $193,737.

On July 29, 1994, horse racing history witnessed one of the most unbelievable coincidences ever caught on a photo-finish camera. Two completely evenly matched thoroughbreds—Honest Onyx and Exclusive Gold—went head-to-head for a grueling seven furlongs at Assiniboia Downs. When they hit the wire, officials reviewed the finish-line camera and literally could not separate them. The result? A rare, official dead-heat for the Win! But the story gets crazier. Just two weeks later, the exact same two horses raced the exact same distance at the same track—and dead-heated again, this time tying for second place. Talk about defying the odds! official dead heat
