A Betfred Casino player has pulled off an extraordinary win with a modest £1.50 bet. The player hit a massive £11.5 million jackpot on the iconic Mega Moolah progressive slot on Thursday, June 5, 2025. This marks the biggest payout in Betfred’s 58-year history. 

Playing with £1.50 per spin, the player landed the Mega Jackpot, claiming a precise total of £11,498,211.89. Mega Moolah has built a legendary reputation for delivering huge progressive payouts since launching in 2006. The game ranks among the most popular jackpot slots online, with more than €600 million paid out globally. The average Mega Jackpot win is around €6.69 million and happens approximately every 49 days.

Fred Done Called To Congratulate the Winner

Betfred founder Fred Done personally called to congratulate the lucky winner, and invite him to attend a Manchester United home game as his special guest. “Winning big for small stakes is what we are all about, and turning £1.50 into a Betfred record is just fantastic,” said Done. 

The winner also shared his excitement. “It’s still sinking in, but it was class of Fred to phone me. He told me to look after my cash and that is my plan. I’m looking forward to meeting Fred at a Manchester United home game. Hopefully, we’ll both celebrate if the Reds win.”

From Racing Bets to Mega Millions

Despite hitting this jackpot, the player has been a dedicated horse racing fan, frequently placing accumulator bets. “I’ve been a horse racing punter my whole life and hit the crossbar a few times with some of my accas, but obviously never hit the jackpot like this,” he said. 

It was his partner who suggested trying the online casino, a decision that paid off in a big way. He still hopes to enjoy racing bets with small stakes after the spectacular win.
