1,000,000 Rand Won In Blackjack

Australian football star Anthony Rocca has managed to defy odds in Sun City Casino in South Africa and win the 1,000,000 Rand jackpot in a game of blackjack. Speaking to the Herald Sun Rocca commented 

“It was unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I was just playing a bit of blackjack, hoping to win a hand, then I get the jackpot.”

To qualify for the jackpot you have to freakishly receive 3 consecutive 7 of Diamond cards consecutively which I can not for the life in me work out what the odds are, if anyone else knows please comment below!

Rocca told the Herald Sun that his heart was beating faster and faster as the third card was turned and when it emerged he had the third and final 7 Diamonds and therefore one million Rand ($153,000) he wouldn’t believe it was true even requesting the casino pay him out in cash. He now has the problem of deciding when to exchange the win as currently the rates are rapidly fluctuating which means he could win even more if he plays it carefully.
