A DraftKings Casino player has broken Michigan’s US online casino jackpot record.

According to the Boston-based brand, an unnamed customer won more than $22.4m on a 20-cent bet while playing the Light & Wonder manufactured game Huff N’ Even More Puff on Wednesday.

DraftKings took to X with news of the history making jackpot, the post going viral with 6.6m+ views:

DraftKings Casino responded to some X users who expressed disbelief over the win, confirming it did indeed happen. 

Other responses from the public involved turkey memes and Thanksgiving wishes, while Army vet Elena commented:

That’s the kind of luck that makes a body wanna drive straight to the Waffle House and buy a lottery ticket with the change in the ashtray.”

DraftKings Executive Vice President and General Manager of iGaming Christian Bogstrand said setting another US record was a “major moment.”

Bogstrand added: “Topping $22m is a milestone we’re proud of, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering a best-in-class gaming experience. Congrats to the winner!” 

The US record remains in-state and replaces the former $9.28m record also set in Michigan in February.
