According to the Chief Executive Officer of Mr. Green online casino, Mikael Pawlo, “We are happy she didn’t faint or worse…”
Eva, a 52 year old from Sweden, will be going out to pamper herself with her big win. “There is, in fact, only one thing that I have a true weakness for,” she said. “I love cars with strong motors, preferably a V8. Now I hope I’ll fulfill the dream of my life to one day drive a Lamborghini. Perhaps, already this summer. I have always mastered the art of surviving and I have worked hard all my life.
