An online casino player scooped a whopping 940,966 euros (£748,290) at SportingBet last week.
Mr K Vasileiadis won the windfall of cash after wagering just 27 euros on a slot machine at the site and got a lot more back than he expected, reports OnlineCasinoNews.
SportingBet's chief executive officer said: "This is a huge win and I am delighted for Mr. Vasileiadis.
"He is a loyal and valued customer and I am sure he will enjoy spending the money."
The casino congratulated Mr Vasileiadis by flying him and five of his friends to London to celebrate and receive his winnings.
Greek born Mr Vasileiadis said that, despite the win, he will not be quitting his job and added that he intends to use the money to make a "pleasant difference" to his life, rather than a dramatic change.
In related news, a new report has revealed that gambling in the US is up by nearly 75 per cent, with 25 per cent of Americans visiting a casino in 2007, reports CasinoGamblingWeb.
