This was the moment a man won a life-changing $10,000 jackpot on a slot machine in a Connecticut casino while wearing only his pyjamas on February 21.

Footage shows the man in the Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard immediately after realising the winnings were real; he goes wild screaming after tearing his face mask off in excitement, as another gambler approaches him to gloat about their own winnings.

Filmer Nicholas Maderia said: "He’s wearing pyjamas in the middle of the casino and freaks out screaming and running around when he hits it.

"Another random gambler approaches to one-up us by gloating about his bigger jackpot win."
