Can you think of any better way to spend your 78th birthday than by winning $4.1 million dollars? Earlier this month a New York woman visiting the Venetian Resort Casino in Las Vegas did just that!
The winner, who chose not to give her name, was visiting Las Vegas along with her daughter in order to celebrate her birthday. She is a retired dance teacher and physical education teacher and the $4.1 million she won should really give her a jumpstart to finish out her retirement in style.
The first question that most people ask when hearing about a big casino win is what game was she playing? This winner was playing the Wheel of Fortune Special Addition penny slot when she spun the Mega Jackpot combination, winning her $4,141,909! She says that she had been playing on the machine while waiting to meet her daughter and left. However, she returned to the same machine later in the evening and claimed her prize. She says that at first she thought she had won a mere $4,000 until one of the hosts at the casino told her that in actuality she had won one thousands times that!
What does she plan to spend the money on? The woman says that for starters she will close out all of her car payments. Then she plans to talk to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren about what to do with the rest of the winnings.
Jackpots of this magnitude are not only won in live casinos. There are many online casinos that offer a great selection of slot machines and other games with jackpots worth millions of dollars.
