Huynh said he plans to use his winnings to travel - perhaps take a cruise.
Huynh, a retiree of nearly a year, celebrated the win by sharing a glass of champagne with his wife.
Last April, a Laval couple collected $1.7 million in winnings from a Powerbucks slot machine - setting the record for highest payout at the time. This network pools the winnings of several linked machines within one casino. Unlike most slot machines that have a fixed jackpot, in a progressive game, the jackpot rises continuously as players insert their coins. His winnings? A grand total of $1.825 million dollars- the largest 'progressive' slot machine jackpot ever won in a Quebec casino. On December 26, Huynh placed a wager on a Grand Prix-themed slot machine, and pulled the handle. It was a $30 bet that one Montreal man will never forget.Ĭhi Hoc Huynh visits the Casino de Montreal three or four times a year.
