Westerdam $24,400 casino winner

As I was headed back to my stateroom after dinner, I saw quite a pleasant presentation.

I didn't find out what was the game, but that over-sized check was being held by several staff members and the lucky recipient.

That is rare for someone to win such a nice big jackpot on a ship.

At home, I play a 5 number game on the Ohio Lottery. During my Zaandam cruise, I saw HAL had a 5 number game as well. Never have won major $$ at home, but I thought I would try my luck for a few draws. Slow learner me finally realized that the odds of winning were less than Ohio's Rolling Cash 5 Game. I ended my contributions.

So, congratulations to the big winner on the Westerdam! No doubt that many of us CC HAL posters only wish it could have been ME!

Sweet win! Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to know somebody acually wins once in a while! Congrats to them!

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Wow - nice to hear someone winning those kind of $.

Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations to the winner!

Well,

I've won 2 End-Of-Cruise Jackpots at Bingo. On the first, I missed most of dinner because of the time it took to deal with the paperwork and the dispensing of the Cash!.

The processing of the second was much quicker, as it just went as a Credit to my OBA.

Cheers,

Gee! I never won so much as a nickel. But, I suppose one has to actually play to win. ;-)

Congrats to the winner !

Sweet win! Thanks for sharing.

It would be an even sweeter win if the person was Canadian and winning US dollars.

VERY, Exciting . Congatulations to the Winner. :) I wonder how fast they asked for her SS NO before presenting tghe 'check.' :) A t least it won' t go on 2017 RE turn but sure will on 2018 That will be a large Form 1099

I imagine the whole ship is buzzin g about it.

They ask for it very quickly. I won a 2400.00 jackpot on a 24 day cruise on the Maasdam last year the last two days of the trip. Before even getting payout they ask for SS Number, passport, drivers license. I was in total shock.

You get the 1099 before disembarkation.

I did that on the duces wild. I got a royal flush with no duces. I did it right before dinner!

After I got paid I went downstairs to guest services and paid my bill with part of it.

Congrats to the winner! Make sure to get the Win Loss Statement from the Ocean Players Club.

This is really Awesome!

I was not asked for any information either time. But of course I declared it. Once was many years ago, but the other was just back in 2016.

I suppose one has to actually play to win.

Yes, that's typically one of the requirements..;p
