The $1 million Bounty Jackpot has been won again

Another player wins seven-figures in a low stakes MTT after drawing the maximum prize in the GGPoker Bounty Jackpot.





The new Bounty Jackpot format from GGPoker is an interesting hybrid of PKO, Spin & Go, Bad Beat Jackpot and Mystery Bounty. Bounty Jackpot tournaments are regular PKOs, but a portion of every knockout is removed from the tournament and placed in a Bounty Jackpot pool outside of the tournament you are playing.

One in every 100 knockouts earns a Bounty Jackpot prize. 75% of the time that prize will be 0.6% of what the current Bounty Jackpot pool is and as rarely as one in 50,000 times the prize will be the jackpot itself, which can be up to $1 million.

The first million dollar jackpot was won earlier this month and on Monday night it was won for a second time in less than three weeks. 

'EDDIE LI' won a $7.50 knockout in a $25 bounty game but because the tournament was opted into the Bounty Jackpot, he pocketed an extra $1 million! The odds of hitting that particular jackpot are 42,632/100,000,000.

Now that GGPoker are the biggest operator in poker and most of their traffic is in PKOs, don't be surprised to see this life-changing jackpot get won on a semi regular basis.
