JAMKAT2 Wins 8th Progressive Jackpot Of 2006 Playing Treasure Box Slot At Slotland Online Casino.

On October 7, Slotland's 8th jackpot winner of the year, JAMKAT2 pulled down an awesome $113,418 while playing Treasure Box! Again, we have a wonderful story of courage and determination which we wish to share with you below. Here, in her own words, is the jackpot winning story from JAMKAT2:

I have been a Slotland player for over 5 years now. I have had my ups and, in my opinion, too many downs over the years, but I always keep coming back to Slotland as one of my favorite casinos. Treasure Box has always been my favorite (and after my jackpot win, it will always be my favorite!), but I also love Halloween Magic (I think it pays better than the original Magic), Golden 8 and, when I only have a little money, I go to Heavy Metal, where I always seem to do well.

This past year, however, I have not had as much playing time at Slotland as I would have liked due to fighting colon cancer. I had surgery performed in July, which appeared to be successful, but after additional tests, it was discovered that I have a cancer spot on my liver now. So I have been taking chemotherapy treatments in the meantime, and let me tell you, chemo is really no fun! I have six weeks of treatment, and then a one week break. They're giving the chemo a little time to see how it's affecting the cancer. If it doesn't work, then I will have to have more surgery.

Last week was one of my breaks from chemo. I had actually considered taking a cruise ship for a week, but chemo wreaks havoc on the body, and I honestly did not want to be sailing on a cruise ship if more than half of my time was spent in the bathroom! So I decided to stay home and rest. I have a full-time 40 hour a week job that I was happy to go back to after being off for 2 months with the surgery and follow-ups. Going to work takes my mind of things, which is good. I also do occasional freelance design work and after foregoing my dream of cruising on the open sea, I dedicated my off-chemo weekend to a freelance job.

On the day of my big win, I had a deadline of 6 PM to finish my work. I was having a hard time getting into the job, and I finally decided to take a little break at Slotland. I had a 45% deposit bonus from last month's newsletter, so I went ahead and made a full $200 deposit. I played for quite a while and was doing pretty good, but I kept watching the clock and reminding myself that I had work to do! Finally, I insisted to myself that no matter what, at 3:00 I would log off and get back to work!

Well, wouldn't you know it, 3:00 came around and I really was not in the mood to stop at all. I was still doing pretty well, nothing to shout about, but I just felt that I wasn't ready to quit. It was about 10 or 15 minutes later that I lined up the three WILD symbols for the jackpot!

Everything became somewhat of a blur for me after that. Of course, why keep spinning when you hit the best possible combo (which would also change my winning screen, which I enjoyed looking at!). I did my best to just step away and complete the job I had for my client, who would be showing up soon! And since my client is highly religious, I did not think it would be wise to tell her that I just won a bundle gambling instead of working on her project! So I kept quiet, finished up the work and delivered it to my client.

After that, I had to tell someone, so I called my two kids and told them. I probably should also have mentioned that they shouldn't blab it around too much, but it's too late now! My youngest son is in college, and he told the guys on his track team, and apparently, it is already all over the campus. My other son who's married and has three children, told his wife, who promptly called her mother and told her. So much for secrets!

I feel like this win is a sign of good things to come for me, including improved health! As to what I am going to do with this wonderful win, I do have plans! First off, I can catch up on my medical bills, but there will still be plenty left after that. I definitely will be gifting something to each of my kids. With my recent illness, I was beginning to think that if things didn't go well for me healthwise, I wouldn't have much to leave them! And I am thinking about a new car to replace my 10-year old, but faithful, Toyota. I know people will be asking me how I can swing buying a new car, but I'm thinking I can just say that "Freelance work over the weekends can really pay off!" My last burning question is this: should I bill my client for those few hours of Slotland play, when I was supposed to be working on her project??? :)

We believe that the signs have changed for the better for JAMKAT2, both financially and health-wise! Our best wishes to a wealthy, healthy future!
