“No Way!”: Fort St. John Resident to Pay off Mortgage After $687K Slot Jackpot Win on PlayNow.com

On March 22, 2025, Leann Carter was enjoying a quiet Saturday morning when she opted to play a game of MegaJackpots® Siberian Storm on PlayNow.com. Her silence was soon replaced with celebratory words of joy upon discovering she scored a jackpot of exactly $687,086.11. 

“I was looking at my phone saying, ‘No way!’ I still can’t believe it,” she said.

Carter’s husband was in the other room at the time, so she raised her voice to notify him of her good news.

“The tone of my voice frightened him at first!” 

The Fort St. John resident says winning a prize of this amount is “unreal” and she is “still in shock.” 

Carter looks forward to paying off her mortgage with her prize and may also enjoy some travelling in the near future.
