DraftKings Casino record jackpot

A new record was set on Wednesday in the online casino industry.

A lucky anonymous individual from Michigan claimed a $22.4 million jackpot while making a $0.20 on Huff N’ Even More Puff at DraftKings Casino. That is a new record for largest online casino jackpot won, blowing past the previous record of $9.28 million in February, also on DraftKings.

At a time where online casino revenue has never been higher, jackpots are now as high as they have ever been as well.

Record Jackpot Won on 20-Cent Play

Wednesday’s record jackpot came in at a total of $22,407,248.55, according to DraftKings.

The win came on just a $0.20 play on the popular online slot Huff N’ Even More Puff, with a progressive jackpot that grew to the $22 million total.

“Setting another record for the largest U.S. online casino jackpot is a major moment — and it speaks to the incredible experiences we’re creating for our customers,” Christian Bogstrand, DraftKings’ Executive Vice President and General Manager of iGaming, said in a statement. “Topping $22 million is a milestone we’re proud of, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering a best-in-class gaming experience. Congrats to the winner!”

Following the win, the new jackpot total was reset to $5.7 million.

DraftKings Held Previous Online Jackpot Record

This past February, DraftKings Casino set the new bar for online casino jackpots. A lucky Michigan online casino player claimed a $9.28 million prize on another $0.20 play, this time on Irish Pot Luck, another progressive jackpot game.

That jackpot had been built up over a year, starting at $1 million.

Prior to that, the record online jackpot was $6.45 million, which had been set in New Jersey in August of 2024.

DraftKings has been able to build up these massive jackpots due in part to its ownership of Golden Nugget Casino, as the two online operators are able to combine jackpot efforts to help build them up in a quicker fashion.
