Washington Man Hits $259,000 Blackjack Jackpot in Minnesota

A visitor from Tukwila, Washington, turned a Wednesday night at Treasure Island Resort & Casino into a historic payday, walking away with a staggering $259,644.10 jackpot.

The massive payout was triggered by a rare "match made in heaven" scenario. To hit this specific progressive, a player must bet the progressive side and match a suited Ace-King with the dealer. In this case, both the player and the dealer were holding the Ace and King of Hearts. This is the first time this specific progressive has hit since last August, and it absolutely shattered the previous $78,000 record for that game.
