More than 10 people got lucky at the Crown Royal Poker Room at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino when two jackpots were hit on the same day.

The first Bad Beat Jackpot of the day was hit and valued at $129,572 and the second brought in $77,404.

John Williams of Solomons, Md., received half of the second jackpot for his winning hand in poker.

A Virginia man received $19,351 for his hand in the game, which was the second-best hand or, in poker parlance, a "bad beat."

At most poker tables, losing hands are not rewarded highly in the game, but in games with a Bad Beat Jackpot when what would be a winning hand is beaten by a rare high hand, a consolation prize is awarded.

The remaining players eight in the game all received more than $2,400 for their payout.
