Incredible moment NRL star Corey Norman's stunned mates realise he's won $25,000 on the pokies - despite already bagging $800,000 a season
Highly-paid NRL star Corey Norman has won $25,000 on the pokies during a night out with mates, sending the group of football players into a frenzy.
The St George Illawarra Dragons player snatched the jackpot while hitting the town with fellow sporting legends Matthew Moylan, Nathan Peats, and Bryce Cartwright on Friday night.
Former Gold Coast Titans hooker Nathan Peats shared footage to social media of the group jumping for joy as gold coins bounce across the slot machine's screen.

'What's up!' Norman screams at the camera.
The group can be seen jumping up and down cheering as the punter's friends slap him on the shoulder.
The $25,000 grand jackpot is only a fraction of Norman's $800,000-a-seaon pay cheque
'I just said he would win!' one friend says, poking Norman in the chest.
The jackpot is only a fraction of the Dragon player's $800,000-a-season pay cheque.
The 29-year-old plays as a five-eight for the NSW-based team, after joining them ahead of the 2019 season.
He is contracted to play with St George until the end of 2021.
Norman debuted with the Brisbane Broncos in 2010 before signing with the Parramatta Eels three years later.
During his decade-long career, he has been embroiled in a string of scandals.
In July 2016, he was fined $800 after pleading guilty to drug possession after he was caught with MDMA and muscle relaxants at The Star casino.
The same month two sex tapes he had sent to friends were reportedly shopped to media outlets in an extortion attempt.
