Builder Wins Life Changing Sum at Sky Vegas
Published on by Andrew Mills
A 40-year-old builder from Durham has picked up in excess of £1.5 million after a very lucky spin on the Toy Factory slot at Sky Vegas.Scott Clydesdale turned a £1 bet into the huge sum with some very lucky spinning on the slot at the popular casino.
How did it happen?
Mr Clydesdale had been playing the five reel, 20 payline Toy Factory slot from Blueprint Gaming for just 23 minutes when his life changed forever.Clydesdale was playing a £20 bonus at the site, and things were not going well, but just before his bonus depleted completely, a £1 bet landed him 125 free spins, which built up to a jackpot of over £1.5 million.
What now?
Mr Clydesdale could not believe his luck, as most people in his position, he was sure it was not true for a while.“When you see it on the screen, your heart’s telling you that you’ve won it but your head’s saying something’s going to go wrong.“I’m a bit cynical and never thought that a real person won the big jackpots. Obviously now I know it’s real” Mr Clydesdale told The Sun newspaper.But after picking up his check at the Redworth Hall Hotel in Durham, and celebrating with some well-deserved champagne, he started making plans.However, Mr Clydesdale will not be splashing out on a sports car or a huge house with his winnings, his intentions are far more humble.“I’ve never had a holiday before – I’ve not got a passport.” Mr Clydesdale told the Sun, adding:“I’m due to get married next year so this is going to help a great deal with that and we’re going to Florida.”Clydesdale’s win is proof positive that anybody can strike lucky on a good day.
