N.B. woman takes home $1.1M in online Casino game

New Brunswick has another millionaire.

Giselle Pollock took home $1.1 million from an online Casino game through Atlantic Lottery (ALC).

Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Shimmering Sapphires gives players the chance to win one of two jackpots with every bet.

Total bets less than $3 are eligible to win the Powerbucks Jackpot, while total bets of $3 or more are eligible for the Powerbucks Progressive of at least $1 million.

Pollock won her $1.1-million progressive prize with just a $3 wager, according to ALC.

“I’m a simple girl, I like simple things, and I like to help my family out, so that’s what I plan on doing,” she said in a news release.

The Lakeville woman also wants to buy a new vehicle and take her daughters and their husbands on a European river cruise.

This is the second big win for Pollock, who took home more than $321,000 on an Instant Win game in 2023.
