PokerStars on FanDuel: Winner Takes All in Rare $250,000 Spin & Go Jackpot

PokerStars on FanDuel recently made headlines with a unique payout structure in a $50 Spin & Go. A $250,000 prize pool was triggered, but unlike most versions of the format, PokerStars awarded the entire jackpot to the winner alone. The runners-up, despite being part of one of the rarest games the site can produce, were eliminated with $0.

The odds of hitting the 5,000x multiplier were just 45 in 10 million, or roughly 4.5 in a million, making it one of the rarest outcomes possible in the lottery sit and go format. The winner was Pennsylvania player Jesuz1zBlac, whose real name is Matthew. In the space of just a few minutes, he turned a $50 buy-in into $250,000, marking the biggest single payout in FanDuel Poker’s history.

PokerStars on FanDuel offers Spin & Go at four buy-in levels: $1, $5, $20, and $50. Each stake has its own maximum jackpot. The $1 version tops out at $10,000, the $5 game offers a headline $1 million jackpot, the $20 level reaches $100,000, while the $50 buy-in awards up to $250,000.
