Peter Ferguson was left pinching himself after returning home from Sin City, where he secured a one-in-two-million win.
An Edinburgh -based man scooped an astonishing £225,000 jackpot from a mere £12 bet while on a trip to Las Vegas. Peter Ferguson, 48, was left pinching himself after returning home from Sin City in April 2022, where he had secured a one-in-two-million win.
Reflecting on the whirlwind experience, Peter said: "I decided to set off for a short break with a friend for five nights in Vegas. The plan was to just go to relax and let the hair down a bit, maybe go and see some shows and play some games at the casino, just to take in the experience really. "The bet I was playing was a progressive $5 . I played my ante ante to be part of the game then another $5 progressive. The dealer dealt me my first two cards and it was a jack and ace of diamonds.
"Before I knew it, the table was surrounded by management. They were asking me to get my passport, which I had to run back to our hotel for. It bloody killed me as it was so hot outside and I was running like an idiot." Peter stated that he was in complete shock at what was happening and was told that it was a "one in two million" chance to be dealt the hand he was given. He also thanked his friend for staying calm and level-headed throughout the experience and helping him through the verification process.
