Stefan Stankowski from South East London has won the ultimate recession busting prize of one million Euros by winning the final of the biggest ever online slot tournament, The Grand Slam of Slots.

Stefan, a photographer for the Harry Potter Films: “I’m ecstatic to have won and can’t quite believe it yet. I’m absolutely stunned! What will I do with the money? Who knows; we’ll have to wait and see! ” When questioned further on whether he plans to quit work on the back of the massive win Stefan goes on to say: “I’m not thinking about leaving work at all, I absolutely love what I do and want to continue it for as long as I can”.
