Player background and plans for the money
Katja was 44 years old at the time of the interview and said the win landed around her birthday, which fell the next day. She told Rahapelisanomat she first told her spouse, then phoned a close friend before informing her mother, who initially found the news hard to believe.
She said she has played slots for years but only plays infrequently, depositing a few dozen euros roughly every two months. Her previous biggest win had been €10,000. Mental II, released in 2025 as a horror-themed follow-up to the original Mental, raised its top prize from 66,666× to 99,999× the bet.
Katja said she will use the winnings to pay off remaining loans and to make investments with the remainder. She added she does not expect to win a similar sum again.
