Navy Veteran Wins Massive Jackpot in Final 'Hard Rock Bet' Season in New Jersey
In a flurry of excitement, players in Pennsylvania and Michigan have recently claimed some significant online jackpot wins, showcasing the thrilling gaming landscape outside of Hard Rock Bet's Jackpot Season.
A Match 6 Lotto ticket sold in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, struck gold on July 11, 2025, netting a lucky player a cool $1.75 million. Not one, but two jackpot-winning lottery tickets worth a combined $4.5 million were also sold in Central Pennsylvania, with one ticket worth $2.75 million being sold in Chambersburg and another in an undisclosed location [1][3].
Meanwhile, in the Great Lakes State, Michigan has seen its fair share of online jackpot wins. On DraftKings online casino, a player pocketed a whopping $9.28 million on the Irish Pot Luck Progressive Jackpot on February 26, 2025 [2]. Another Michigan player was also lucky enough to win over $2.22 million on the El Dorado The Lost City Progressive Jackpot in October 2023 [2].
Other notable online progressive jackpots in Pennsylvania include a $2.63 million win on Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen Jackpot in December 2023 [2].
While Hard Rock Bet's Jackpot Season was exclusively available to online casino players in New Jersey, it's worth noting that players in Pennsylvania and Michigan have also had their fair share of luck. During the promotion's 83-day run, over $2.2 million in slots jackpots were won [1][2].
One such lucky player was Ilyndove, a resident of Princeton, who won an impressive $462,875.98 playing Red Tiger's Rainbow Jackpots on Hard Rock Bet. Ilyndove's win came unexpectedly, with the third jackpot symbol appearing out of nowhere [1].
Hard Rock Bet's Jackpot Season, its inaugural run, concluded on July 15, 2025. Interestingly, Ilyndove's win occurred just days after the promotion ended [1].
Another player, who wished to remain anonymous, won a jackpot worth $252,326.65 on a slots game on BetRivers in Pennsylvania on July 10. In June, a blackjack player in Pennsylvania and a slots player in Michigan won prizes totaling $937,000 on the Golden Nugget Online Casino [1].
The "Daily Must-Drop Jackpot" was exclusive to Red Tiger games during Hard Rock Bet's Jackpot Season [1]. Ilyndove's win came at a significant time for her, as she had recently married and purchased a new home [1].
Despite Hard Rock Bet operating an online casino only in New Jersey, it's clear that players in Pennsylvania and Michigan have also experienced their share of online jackpot wins recently. The gaming landscape in these states continues to offer exciting opportunities for players seeking their lucky break.
