New Jersey Man Wins $153,638 Online Jackpot Playing at BorgataCasino.com 0001

The $3,500 World Poker Tour Borgata Winter Poker Open Championship kicked off this weekend, and PokerNews will be on hand to live report the action. While that��s certainly big news, Borgata made headlines earlier this week for another reason.

We��re not talking about the counterfeit chip debacle, but rather a story involving a $1.50 online bet and a $153,638.75 payday. Earlier this week a 29-year-old man (who has asked to remain anonymous) was visiting his parents in Monmouth County when he decided to log into BorgataCasino.com and take advantage of the free $20 sign-up offer. He then began playing the ��Going Nuts�� online progressive slot machine.

At around 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21, he bet $1.50, hit the mega cash jackpot, and won $153,638.75 �� one of the largest online jackpots in New Jersey history �� from the comfort of his bedroom.

��I was in utter shock!�� the New Jersey native exclaimed according to a press release from Borgata. ��I could not believe what had just happened��I was just staring at the screen in awe.��

��I��ve been coming to Borgata to play poker and black jack with my friends since I turned 21,�� the man added. ��It was really cool to win online but I will definitely be returning to Atlantic City soon.��
