Tuesday 7th October 2008
Gibraltar-licensed LadbrokesGames.com made one player’s 21st birthday a definite milestone to remember by awarding him over $340,000 thanks to its Deal Or No Deal online slot.
Matt Styles, an administrator from the English town of High Wycombe triggered the jackpot that had been building since the game launched last year and walked away with $344,793, only a day after his birthday.
'I'm thrilled with my win but it's only just sinking in,” said Styles.
“I'm still waiting for someone to tell me it's a wind up. Last week was definitely one I won't forget for a long time, turning 21 and then going on to win £344,000 in such a short space of time was unbelievable. Maybe some of Noel Edmond's cosmic ordering has rubbed off on me.'
The lucky winner still lives at home with his parents and two sisters and stated that he plans to use some of his winnings to buy a Volkswagen Golf and take a trip to Canada to visit his aunt who recently emigrated. He stated that the remaining amount will be invested after first sharing some with his family and girlfriend Olivia.
'The Deal Or No Deal Jackpot took just over a year to trigger and what a fantastic coincidence that our own birthday celebrations corresponded with Matt's 21st birthday,” said Charlie Goodenough, Acquisition Marketing Manager for LadbrokesGames.com.
