Chennai, Tamil Nadu – In the sweltering heat of a Wednesday afternoon, 39-year-old cab driver Muthuvel Rajan was parked outside a mall in T. Nagar, waiting for his next ride. What he didn’t expect was to walk away not with a passenger—but with a jaw-dropping ₹9.2 lakh win from a mobile game called Aviator.

“I had no rides booked, so I opened Aviator on my App. I had ₹3,000 in my account, leftover from yesterday”

His winning moment…

As the round began, the little red plane launched across the screen, the multiplier ticking steadily upward—1.2×, 2.4×, 4.9×—each second bringing higher risk and greater reward. In Aviator, it’s a test of nerve, timing, and instinct: cash out too early and you miss the climb, too late and you lose it all. With eyes locked and heart racing, the player waited just long enough—watching the multiplier climb to 61,541× before hitting cash out a fraction of a second before the plane vanished into the clouds. The screen burst with confirmation: a ₹1500 bet had turned into a ₹9 Lakh win! A split-second decision, a sky-high reward—proof that in Aviator, fortune truly favors the bold.

“It hit 20x, 100x, 500x… I was sweating but held on.
I cashed out at 61,541x just before it crashed.”

From Taxi Stand to Triumph

The money was verified and transferred to his SBI account within four business days. Muthuvel said he checked the SMS notification 10 times to believe it. Muthuvel has been driving cabs for nearly 14 years. He supports his wife, two children, and aging parents in a two-room flat on the outskirts of Chennai. This win has given him a new mission.
