One lucky online gambler won $1,594,649.21 cash today on the Major Millions slot machine at Captain Cook's Online Casino. The player's name has not been announced. This is the largest Internet gambling jackpot paid out to date. The previous record was held by a player nicknamed "BOBO" who won $414,119.22 on the Rags to Riches slot machine at Sands of the Caribbean Online Casino last September.

Today's million dollar win comes just 6 weeks after the launch of the new Major Millions game. Major Millions is part of the Jackpot Madness progressive slot network.

In addition to the cash, Jackpot Madness will treat the winner to an all-expense paid luxury trip to the ritziest gambling destination in the world - Monte Carlo.

Marilyn Glazier, Press Agent for Jackpot Madness, commented, "In the few short weeks since unveiling, Major Millions has already transformed the scale of online gaming payouts. We'd like to congratulate our first Major Millionaire and send him off to enjoy his new life, starting in Monte Carlo!"
