The 54-year-old winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was playing a game of stud poker when he secured the life-changing sum with a rare Royal Flush of spades.

The casino erupted with excitement when the winner’s cards were turned over to reveal a hand with the highest possible value featuring an ace, king, queen, jack, and ten all in the same suit – an incredible result given the odds are around 650,000 to 1.

Speaking about his jackpot win, the mystery winner said: “When I visited the casino, I never expected my luck to kick in to this degree or to have such an incredible hand of cards. When I realised that I had won, I was completely over the moon. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day.”

Tracey Collins, General Manager at Grosvenor Casino Portsmouth, said: “Massive congratulations to our lucky winner from all of us at the casino. To see such a big win with a very rare hand is amazing, and we hope all of our players get a stroke of the same luck when they visit us in the future.”
