\"\"A Montreal retiree got a belated Christmas present when he won a $1.8 million jackpot at Montreal Casino.<\/p>\n

Chi Hoc Huynh only wagered a total of $30 on the Grand Prix slot machine when he netted the massive payout.<\/p>\n

Grand Prix is a linked progressive Montreal slots jackpot that often features huge prizes.<\/p>\n

Huynh Discusses Plans for Spending Jackpot<\/h2>\n

Following his jackpot win, Huynh toasted with his wife, Kim, in celebration. He spoke with Global News<\/a> about what he plans to do with the Montreal slots jackpot.<\/p>\n

Now retired, Huynh and his wife plan to use some of their windfall to take a cruise and do other traveling. But beyond this, they have no immediate plans for their newfound wealth.<\/p>\n

Huynh visits local casinos about 3-4 times per year. But now that he’s much richer, he might start increasing his visits to Montreal Casino and other gambling venues.<\/p>\n

Huynh’s Jackpot Falls in Line with Many Other Big Canadian Winners<\/h2>\n

\"\"Canada doesn’t have a gambling destination like Las Vegas, where there are countless casinos and massive jackpots. But they do have some good regional casinos with decent-sized jackpots.<\/p>\n

Huynh’s $1.8 million win falls in line with what’s typically seen from Canada’s biggest slots winners. Here are a couple examples of other Canadian jackpot winners that we’ve covered:<\/p>\n

Bus driver Paul Smith wins $1.3 million<\/h3>\n

Smith was playing Smoke Signals<\/a> slots at the tribal-owned Northern Lights Casino in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. \u201cOh man what a win, I didn\u2019t know what I was going to do for retirement. Now I can pay off my mortgage and a few other debts,\u201d he said afterward.<\/p>\n

Sylvia Bennett wins $1 million on “staycation”<\/h3>\n

Bennett was going to take a trip to Las Vegas with her friends. But she instead took a “staycation”<\/a> and hit a life-changing jackpot.<\/p>\n

Chi Hoc Huynh is the latest big winner to follow in these players’ footsteps. And we’ll no doubt see more people winning big from Canada in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
