September 27 - When a young Norwegian student decided to have a few spins on an online casino slot game before retiring for the night, he didn't think, even in his wildest dreams, that he would be waking up a millionaire nearly twelve times over!

The 20 something young man from Hordaland in Norway returned from the movies late on Saturday night and decided to have a few free slot spins on the Mega Fortune slot jackpot game at Betsson online casino.

Betsson had credited his account with ten free spins on the Mega Fortune slot game and the player decided that he would try the game out before heading to bed.

"I usually play in Betsson's sportsbook, but I saw the huge sum of the jackpot and thought 'Yeah! Let's give the free spins a shoot and see what happens'."

After trying out the free spins, the player realized that he was 46 Norwegian Kroner ahead and opted to carry on playing on these winnings that had resulted from the free spins.

Imagine his shock and delight when he realized that a mere €0.50 wager resulted in a massive €11.7 million win!

The stunned winner said that the win was quite "unbelievable." He managed to tell Betsson staff that he had trouble believing the numbers when they first appeared on his screen and he had to call his brothers and a few friends.

"It hasn't really sunk in yet," he said.

"I couldn't sleep until 6 am due to the shock!" he said. "I woke up at 7 am again. It was just impossible to sleep, and I am shaking and sweating.

The players said that he hasn't yet thought about what to do with the winnings, and he needed to calm down first before he could even begin to think what to do with the money.

"I usually play Betsson's sportsbook, but I saw the huge sum of the jackpot and thought 'Yeah! Let's give the free spins a shoot and see what happens.' It was a shocking experience when €11.7 million dropped before my eyes," he said.
