Online casino BodogLife.com has announced that one lucky player beat odds of 649,740 to one to hit the royal flush progressive jackpot on its Let ‘Em Ride poker game late last week. California native Zachary M was willing to pay the extra dollar required on every single hand to be eligible for the full jackpot and will now take home $159,000.

“I've been playing Let ‘Em Ride a little while and when I hit the jackpot I couldn’t believe it,” said the player. “I was very excited.” The player revealed that he had hit a royal flush playing Let ‘Em Ride before last Friday’s windfall but had not made the extra one-dollar bet. It hurt,” said Zachary.

"That’s why you can’t be afraid to go big and always make the side bet. I'd now like to take a vacation and I'd like to enter the World Series of Poker tournament.”
