Jackpot in Jersey: Online Slot Player Wins Over $1 Million

A New Jersey slot player won more than $1.2 Million in the largest online Jackpot ever awarded across Caesars Entertainment’s online casino platforms. IGT PlayDigital’s MegaJackpots Cash Eruption delivered the record online payout on Caesars Palace Online Casino, building on major wins on the title in 2025.

Caesars Entertainment announced last week that one lucky Caesars Rewards member playing on Caesars Palace Online Casino in New Jersey won $1,247,834.01 from a $30 bet on IGT PlayDigital’s MegaJackpots Cash Eruption. This was the largest online jackpot ever awarded across Caesars’ online casino brands. The jackpot was won on Saturday, January 18, 2026.

“I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it,” said the Caesars Rewards member who won the jackpot. “I plan to take care of my family.”

Jackpot History

The record win builds on recent jackpot history for MegaJackpots Cash Eruption across Caesars’ online casino platforms. In September 2025, more than $1.1 million in jackpots was awarded on the same title via two wide-area progressive jackpots won over a seven-day span.

The first of those wins was a $603,667.06 jackpot claimed from a $15 bet on September 18, exactly four months before this historic win. Just days later, on September 24, a player claimed a second jackpot of $527,710.07 from a $0.60 bet on the same game, in the same state, and on the same platform.
