LAS VEGAS (Jan. 27, 2026) – Caesars Entertainment announced today that one lucky Caesars Rewards member playing on Caesars Palace Online Casino in New Jersey won $1,247,834.01 from a $30 bet on IGT PlayDigital’s MegaJackpots™ Cash Eruption™, the largest online jackpot ever awarded across Caesars’ online casino brands. The jackpot was won on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2026.
“I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it,” said the Caesars Rewards member who won the jackpot. “I plan to take care of my family.”
The record win builds on recent jackpot history for MegaJackpots Cash Eruption across Caesars’ online casino platforms. In September 2025, more than $1.1 million in jackpots was awarded on the same title via two wide area progressive jackpots won over a seven day span.
The first of those wins was a $603,667.06 jackpot claimed from a $15 bet on Sept. 18, exactly four months before this historic win. Just days later, on Sept. 24, a player claimed a second jackpot of $527,710.07 from a $0.60 bet on the same game, in the same state and on the same platform.
“MegaJackpotsCash Eruption continues to deliver memorable moments for our players on Caesars Palace Online Casino,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital. “When a favorite title reaches milestones like this, it reinforces why we focus on a seamless experience and engaging content that resonates with our players.”
MegaJackpots Cash Eruption is part of IGT PlayDigital’s popular progressive slot series, known for its escalating prize pools across multiple states and engaging gameplay.
“MegaJackpots Cash Eruption continues its reign as one of the most widely enjoyed games in the IGT PlayDigital content portfolio and a $1.2 million jackpot payout can even further boost the game’s popularity with players,” said Gil Rotem, IGT CEO Digital. “Caesars Palace Online Casino is maximizing the reach of MegaJackpots Cash Eruption across its online casino platforms, and lucky players are reaping the benefits via record-setting jackpots in multiple states.”
