Pennsylvania Man Hits Divine Fortune Mega Jackpot For More Than $278,000 At PlaySugarHouse.com While Self-Isolating At Home

PHILADELPHIA, March 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A Lititz, PA man hit the Divine Fortune jackpot this weekend while playing online at PlaySugarHouse.com. Andrew, whose last name is being withheld, hit the jackpot with a $1 bet, winning $278,430.23. This is his second time hitting the jackpot in less than a month, and the second time this week that a Divine Fortune jackpot was hit at PlaySugarHouse.com. The first time was in New Jersey on Sunday night for $278,802.58.

The 40-year-old said that his heart was pounding out of his chest when he saw the win.

"During this very difficult and unprecedented period of time while most are staying home, it's nice that we can provide another outlet for entertainment and a chance to win life changing jackpots," said Mattias Stetz, C.O.O. of Rush Street Interactive, the C.O.O. of Rust Street Interactive, which operates PlaySugarHouse.com and BetRivers.com.  "It proves that even with a small bet, our players can win big."

With all land based casinos in New Jersey and Pennsylvania closed, PlaySugarHouse.com has seen an increase in casino play these past few days.

"We've seen quite a surge in online casino play," said Stetz.  "We expect that uptick to continue while Americans are being asked to stay at home looking for ways to be entertained."

This is the thirteenth Divine Fortune jackpot at PlaySugarHouse.com in Pennsylvania since its launch last summer.
