Woman wins over million rand FOR one Bloemfontein resident leading a very normal life things have just got better than they usually are. She has just won a large Jackpot at the Windmill Casino – over a million rand. “It couldn’t have happened to a nicer and more sensible person,” says Julian Richfield of the casino group about the woman who doesn’t want to be identified. By Monday, when the shock wore off, she made an appointment to see a financial adviser. As a result, and because her job does not come with a pension, she has decided to invest most of her winnings for when she is old.
“She usually shares her winnings and this time is no exception. Part of her big win will be used to help relatives out of financial difficulty.” Responsible gambler Julian says the woman in her mid-fifties is a fine example of a responsible gambler who lives by the National Responsible Gambling Programme’s advice of: “Gamble with your head, not your heart”. She gambles for pleasure, sets herself a limit and once it’s spent, stops gambling. But because she likes Windmill and the people who go there, she often stays to chat after she has finished gambling.

How it happened When the casino launched the Duma Jackpot in March this year, she gave it a try, but didn’t particularly like it. A friend suggested she read the rules so that she could play properly and maybe then enjoy it more. The advice helped and last week when she played Duma again she won over R2 000. And that is the way things usually go when she gambles, nothing out of the ordinary. Well, not exactly. Last Saturday things deviated from her usual experience there. She visited the casino floor and started playing the slots, mindful as she always is of the amount of money she has allocated herself for the evening. She had R300 left and went and played Duma. R100 went in without any money being won. She looked at her watch. It was almost enough for one night, but she decided to play the remaining R200 quickly and then leave. She put the money in and thought nothing more of it, except she heard music and noticed people rushing over to where she was sitting. Then the penny dropped and she realised she had won a Duma Jackpot. A big one. Over a million rand. Well to be exact, R1 161 583,91!
