People say lightning never strikes twice, but a gaming enthusiast from Peterborough might have something to clarify around this quote. This year is a special one for Robert Billinghurst who managed to bag two jackpots in half a year, the latest one claimed at Casino Rama.
The most recent jackpot amounts to CA$50,307 and adds to the February windfall of CA$20,000. Jackpots generally come in two types, the ones won at a casino venue as a result of slot machine action, and the others involving the purchase of an instant or draw lottery ticket.
Both opportunities are equally exciting and could change oneās life in a matter of minutes. The Peterborough enthusiast who had the opportunity to bag an impressive cash payout twice this year could confirm that. Last Friday he became eligible for a CA$50,307 jackpot at Casino Rama.

The Orillia-based casino resort is a popular destination for people ready to try their luck at a premium tribal casino resort. Overseen by Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, the venue has a lot up for grabs, benefiting those who have the guts to try.
Mr. Billinghurst has no idea life would get him to that particular casino venue last week. When he recalls the situation, it all sounds like an unexpected turn of events for him, as his original plans for the weekend were quite different.
The Peterborough resident was supposed to go on a trip to the United States over the weekend, but a dental surgery made that impossible. He decided to try his luck instead and make his way to Casino Rama for a change.
Only a couple hours later he saw the celebratory images on the slot machineās display. His first jackpot for this year was claimed at Casino Peterborough where he is a frequent casino patron. Back in February, Mr. Billinghurst received some CA$20,000 and purchased a vehicle for himself. As for his plans for the second jackpot, he intends on spoiling his family and himself.
