The Let Em Ride progressive jackpot at Bodog Casino was won by Joe V of St. Petersburg. He hit the jackpot a couple of weeks ago when he was playing Let Em Ride and instantly became $185,000 dollars richer.

Joe has been a member of Bodog Casino for almost two years now and while he occasionally plays poker he usually sticks to the casino games. He was playing his favorite game when he hit the Royal Flush that triggered the progressive jackpot.

"It’s funny actually. My wife and I were playing and were thinking, “You know, everybody’s got a chance. Why not us?” So that’s become our new motto, Why not us?”, Joe said in an interview after he won. So far Joe and his wife plan on using his winnings to pay off some debts and then maybe take a trip to Las Vegas.
