The woman was reportedly on a work conference call when striking the jackpot, making this story even more interesting:
On the online casino’s chat room, the winner posted that she "was actually on a work conference call and almost screamed out loud" when she won the prize.
No word yet regarding whether her phone was properly muted during the conference call.
This marks the sixth time a gambler has won Divine Fortune's Mega Jackpot since the casino opened nearly two years ago.
Richard Schwartz, President of Rush Street Interactive, was excited about the payout, telling NorthJersey.com:
Hitting this record-breaking jackpot is great for us and for the entire online gaming industry, as it proves people can win life-changing amounts online at anytime and anyplace.
Gambling in New Jersey has been a popular topic in recent months, headlined by brick-and-mortar sportsbook openings at Monmouth Park Racetrack, Atlantic City's Borgata and the Meadowlands, as well as DraftKings' official launch of online and mobile sports wagering within the state.
