Good luck Froozle, you have a hard table in the main with Andrew1947 and Ludovician left and maybe.... easier in the mini with only Matt Bates to get past for the prize! (All said in good spirits,before any troll comments)
Very well played Froozle on taking down the jackpot ! I was watching the tables with interest after coming across Aussies thread, Well done, enjoy your windfall.
Wowzer! Very well done How many times has the big jackpot been won before? Posted by mrsduck
Since it changed to this format (it used to be just be £10k for winning both iirc and nothing for near misses), I don't think the full jackpot has ever been won.
I remember the old system cos a mate, Gazza, got 1st and 2nd in the main and mini and got £0 for it cos it was just before they changed it.

Pretty sure Ryan has won the main and the mini in one night since the change

I am fairly certain you are right and Ryan has won it. Not sure who else has won the max. Might be good to show this on the promo page so people know its possible.
Very well played last night Froozle, stunning effort!
there are now 4 winners as far as i know. scotty77 before Froozle. Before those two, i recall it being a pool increased by £100 a week if not won. so the amounts that dylan12 and alan1506 won might have been quite different.
Ryan, from what I can gather, is the only other person besides Froozle to win the £5k FTJ. (I'm getting this from archived content pages, it MIGHT very well be that prior to my joining, the pages might not have been updated).
Interestingly (which astounded me when I first read it), when Ryan won the £6,000 Rebuy Open back in 2014 andrew1947 was the runner up, again!
Other names that hover around that time are POKEY2011 and henners10 - who are both mentioned in the recent article.

I stand corrected Alan1506 won £6,800. So there are now four very happy players in the Jackpot club with an extra £20,000+ in binkage between them. Posted by GaryQQQ
Yup. Alan1506 turned up at one of our Live Events shortly after - smashing lad - & I still keep in touch with Dylan, &, of course, Ryan. Can't say I know Mr Froozle though, but a lovely bit of bonus for him.
The jackpot is a really fun benefit to playing on Sky Poker. Doesn't really get mentioned often enough in terms of encouraging people who haven't taken a look at Sky to play here but I know it's very much appreciated by the regulars.
Definitely not easy to win but it's a freeroll that happens all the time and can be accessed by anyone.

Quite remarkable, very well done indeed Mr Frozzle.
Subject to confirmation & game audit, Froozle wins £1,620 in the Main, £675 in the Mini, & a £5,000 Sky Poker Jackpot Bonus. Nice night's work.

vwp. excellent stuff.
VWP Froozle, great achievement. Enjoy spending £7000....
Iirc previous £5,000 winners are Dylan12 and Alan1506. I don't think Ryan has ever won it.
Pretty sure Ryan picked up £5,000, too, but it's not often you are wrong, so I'll not argue with that.

Alan1506 won £6,800, Dylan12 £6,500.

Great achievement Froozle.
