An online casino player has won a whopping $5.5 million (£2.25 million) playing blackjack online this week.
The fluky Finnish player made the win after placing a 50 cent bet at Blackjackballroom.com, which proved to be the most lucrative decision of his life, reports Jackpot.co.uk.
Klaus E, as he has been identified, says that it took him a while to understand how much money he had won.
He told the website: "When I saw 5,556,753 flash on my screen, I thought it was a US phone number.
"It couldn't be a jackpot, I must be mistaken. So I just got up from my table, went outside to clear my head, and then came back in again for another look"
Klaus says that despite becoming a multi-millionaire he will be spending his cash wisely and investing.
