Microgaming Wowpot Progressive

[TheScientist]

Anyone have any idea how the Microgaming Wowpot! progressive jackpot has ballooned from approx. 5 million to 14 million over the course of a single day? Usually takes about 6 months to get to that level.

This could happen if the previous person who won wasn't actually eligible for it (broke terms etc.) Don't know if that's the case here but that's what I've heard in the past. Then they put the money back into the game I believe.

That would make sense... last time it was 14.1 million was around August and it was won then... so perhaps something fell through for the punter that won it... would not like to be that person if that's the case!

Definitely! That's just a huge loss to say the least.
