FanDuel accounted for about 41% of all online wagers in September with a handle of $171 million.

“It was an exciting weekend, and we’re thrilled that not one, but two, of our valued guests had such notable wins. As people continue to feel more comfortable in safely returning to the casino, we hope to see this trend of large jackpot winnings continue to occur often at Valley Forge.”

The previous jackpot from the same progressive also had a win of $785,000 in July 2020.
