'I felt the plane would keep flying': Indian man wins ₹20 lakhs in 1xGames Crash
What began as an ordinary evening after work turned into a life-changing moment. Ravinder S., a 34-year-old electrician from Nagpur. He won ₹2,000,000 (around $25,000), while playing the popular 1xGames Crash game on the 1xBet platform – a site he's trusted for five years. For Ravinder — or Ravi, as his friends call him — life is about balance: between hard work, family, and life's small pleasures. Every day starts with a masala chai and a quick scroll through cricket news. Evenings are reserved for time with his kids — and occasionally, after they've gone to bed, a few rounds of Crash. 'I'm not a gambler. I'm a strategist,' Ravi jokes. His typical approach is conservative, usually cashing out at a multiplier of x1.8 or x2. He avoids adrenaline, preferring steady wins. But that night felt different. 'I saw the plane taking off and felt — this time it's going further. I hit 'cash out' at x50. And I couldn't believe my eyes,' he recalls. It turned out to be one of the biggest wins in Crash history on the platform. 'I'm not going to spend it all at once,' he says. 'I want to give my kids a good education, finally take my wife to Europe — she's been dreaming of Spain since our wedding — and start saving for a family home.' Importantly, Ravi is a strong advocate of responsible gaming. 'I never bet more than I can afford to lose. For me, it's a way to relax, not a way to earn,' he emphasizes. Irina Kapoor, a spokesperson for 1xBet, commented: 'We're thrilled to see our games, especially 1xGames Crash, inspire players to enjoy smart risk-taking and celebrate big wins. Ravi's story isn't just about luck — it's about patience, intuition, and responsible play.' About 1xGames Crash 1xGames Crash is a fast-paced game developed by 1xBet.
