$442,800.62!

What was your reaction when you realized you had won $389,843.85, the largest jackpot EVER won on the Internet? Tell us your story!
Just ask my cat! I jumped from my chair, danced around the room and scared the wits out of Gizmo, my white Persian cat. Although it was 3 AM, I woke my mother who lives nearby. Then I showed my mother the winning screen. She didn't have her glasses, so she didn't realize the enormity of the win until I translated the dollar amount into the local currency. She was amazed! We celebrated by toasting with an 18-year-old bottle of Glenlivet whiskey!'

What an amazingly lucky guy! What do you do for good luck? Do you have a special strategy?
I have a guardian angel. Also, I have a very long line here on my left hand. You can't have a real strategy. Sometimes it's a feeling... sometimes it's just pure luck.

So, how will you spend it all?
First of all, I ordered a dark blue Audi SC6 Ming. For Christmas this year, I plan to give my mother some money to help pay for a house she has chosen to purchase. A money gift is also in store for my older sister. As far as my friends, I plan to throw many, many parties!

Do you have any special interests or hobbies?
I am an avid outdoor sportsman, and I enjoy paragliding and skiing. Of course, I enjoy playing online, especially slots,poker,BlackJack and Red Dog.

What else would you like to share with us?
I have yet to meet the woman I would like to marry. The main thing I am looking for is someone whom I can respect and who respects me. If she is beautiful, that's alright too!

What do you like about Jackpot Madness?
You feel like you are in a real casino. They make the slot machine on the progressives look so real! You feel like you can touch the slot machine. It's fun!
