Despite returning to his setup soon after, Joe was still in shock for the remainder of his broadcast, citing the incredible “luck” that allowed him to win big.
He has since followed up the insane moment with a tweet joking that his soul is leaving him, and also that the broadcast was not sponsored, despite his Twitch channel page featuring a link to the game’s website.
