Finnish woman wins €1.5 million at Paf

A Finnish woman from southern Finland won €1,497,900.48 on Paf's gaming site. The winner played the game Arabian Nights on Paf.com with a stake of 50 cents. Paf called the winner to congratulate her.

On Monday evening, 26 May, the jackpot was won by one of Paf's customers. A woman from southern Finland won €1.5 million playing Arabian Nights with a stake of 50 cents. When Paf reached the winner, this was the first thing she said.

"Something big happened yesterday”

Her voice was warm and relieved. Behind her words, there was still a hint of disbelief. Even though almost a day has passed since the big win, it is only now that reality is beginning to sink in.

"The whole day yesterday felt like a fog – I didn't know if it was real. But then the call came, a confirming call that made it all real,” she says.

The winner was at work when Paf called to congratulate her, and she said that retirement may now be next on her list.

“This feels like the perfect time to win," she says with a smile in her voice.

The winner is going to stop playing

The winner says she has already made a decision: to close her gaming account and impose a five-year ban on herself. It is clear that this was not just an ordinary win – it was an ending for the winner. A good ending that she can now proudly choose.

“I'm so happy that I never have to play again,” she says.

Paf recommended her to be in touch with her bank to make sure that nothing stands in the way of her closing the door completely. When we talk about what she plans to do with her winnings, the answer comes without hesitation.

"The mortgage will go and all my expenses will go – and there will still be money left to invest”, she says.

It's a sense of security and freedom she's long hoped for. Her children don't yet know that she's won something big – but they'll hear the news soon, now that everything has been confirmed.

“They'll be so happy,” she says.

The winner leaves us with a thoughtful reflection.

“Sometimes you have to draw a line – so that no one goes around thinking they have to keep going for years waiting for the big win. Because it probably won't come. This time it did. And with it – freedom, relief and the beginning of a new chapter,” says the winner.
