He won the jackpot while playing Crazy 4 Poker<\/em> at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino<\/strong> on Monday. The 29-year-old played the table game for about an hour before winning a mega progressive jackpot with a royal flush. That game was the first time he had played poker on a casino floor.<\/p>\n

Aynsley was visiting Las Vegas on vacation with friends when he decided to stop off at the Caesars Entertainment<\/a> property. He plans to invest some of the money and share the rest with his family.<\/p>\n

Aynsley later revealed that his positive outlook helped him win the jackpot, according to a statement from Caesars Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Overcoming Odds<\/h2>\n

But Aynsley didn’t always have a positive attitude toward life, battling obesity, loneliness, and low self-esteem as a teenager, according to Essentially Sports<\/em>, a website that covers athletics and athletes. He was frequently bullied in his younger days and even contemplated suicide as a child, the report revealed.<\/p>\n

\n

He made it through those years by playing the video game Minecraft.<\/em> As he grew older, Aynsley discovered the world of physical fitness and body conditioning. The fitness influencer with 1.4 million followers on Instagram now stands 6 feet tall and weighs about 195 pounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“God works in mysterious yet beautiful ways,\u201d Aynsley said in an Instagram post after his win.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, a mystery player won $315,515 while playing Blazing 7s Blackjack<\/em> at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino<\/a> in Las Vegas. The person won with a mega jackpot. The unidentified player plans to buy a new car with some of the winnings.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, another player won $79,008 at Arizona Charlie\u2019s Boulder <\/strong>casino, located on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas.The lucky local player won the money after he made a $1 wager while playing Dollar Storm<\/em> at the Golden Entertainment<\/a> property. He won on a super grand jackpot.<\/p>\n

Last week, Comanche War Pony Casino<\/strong>, located in Devol, Okla., reported that a Wichita Falls, Texas, resident won more than $280K on a slot machine.
