| GamblingPhD menu | Luck Runs in the Family March 24, 2009 It is quite rare to start with that a member of your family might get lucky enough to win a nice big jackpot at an online gambling site. However, how much rarer do you think it might be that two members of your family might win big jackpots � and only nine months apart? Pretty rare one would think. However that is exactly what happened at Party Casino. The online gambling site found that a father and son had both won at their online casino within nine months of each other. Between the two of them they managed to pull in more than two million dollars according to the casino. The pair wants to remain anonymous, which seems like it might be hard to do in their neighborhood with that kind of a win. The father won $763,356.33 on the Gold Mega Jackpot. Then nine months later, the son won $1,358,857.49 on the same game at the same online casino. According to the site, this is a rarity among the online gambling community. The site says that the second win was on February 24th of 2009, which is almost exactly nine months to the date of the first one which was May 24th 2008. They were watching the win because they had some problems with another win at their site in October of 2006 of $1,571,974 which was paid out under threat � so they had to make sure that they were not falling into the same trap again with this payout. For their part the father and son were thrilled, and the son said that his father had �rubbed in� his win, so it was only fair that not only would he win as well, but he won more.
