What was your reaction when you realized you had won $286,715.54, the 2nd largest jackpot EVER won on Jackpot Madness? Tell us your story!
It was my birthday! I just stared at the computer screen and couldn't believe it...I was a total wreck! I was one of those people who always said, 'I have never won anything before in my life, and now this!'

Before the game was launched, I had a strange dream that I went on a trip to Egypt. I dreamt about pyramids and sphinxes. Then the game was launched and somehow I knew I HAD to start playing. When I saw Treasure Nile, I knew it was a sign. I started to play day and night, then one day, on my birthday, I played 3 spins and hit the jackpot!"

Who did you tell first and what was their reaction?
Funny thing, I didn't tell anyone at first as I didn't believe it myself. It was only when I saw it posted on the Piggs Peak site, only then did I know it was real!

What a lucky lady! What do you do for good luck?
I have two 140 pound Newfoundland dogs, and I rub one of their heads for good luck before I play. I say 'OK little girl, this one's for you!' When I sit down at the computer, she comes into the room and waits for me to do it."

Do you have any special advice for your fellow players?
Just play what you can afford to lose.

Do you have any hobbies?
Yes! I collect vintage clothing, such as antique beaded dresses, shoes etc. It's a lot of fun!

If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be?
Alaska for the animal life. To see the whales and birds and everything!

What else would you like to share with us?
I am married with no kids and lots of pets. I have 2 giant 140 lb. Newfoundlands and 3 cats. I come from a very close family and we all live near each other, family is more important than anything.

What do you like about Jackpot Madness?
I checked out your site last night and love it! Everything was easy access and understandable. I also saw my name flashing and thought I was in Vegas! Thanks again for all you have done!
