“I Won the Jackpot” is the sound of dreams coming true.
"Nothing is sweeter than winning $3.2 million in downtown Las Vegas," says cab driver Robert Baker as he showed off the very large ceremonial check to tourists on Fremont Street.
The Elvira, Mistress of the Dark slot at the Golden Nugget Casino was the largest hit on a nickel slot machine and sets a new world record for the denomination.
“I play nickel progressives,” Baker said. “They are my favorites and it really paid off today”.
After coming down, Baker says he will again be behind the wheel of his taxi as usual. “I need to take some time to figure out what I’m going to do from this point, and going about my life as usual seems like the best way to keep my feet on the ground”.
One item that's a sure buy and a lifelong dream is to buy a Lincoln Town car. A 49-year old woman celebrating her 27th wedding anniversary with here husband at Sam’s Town in Robinsonville, MS grabbed a $2,861,426 jackpot on a dollar Wheel of Fortune. Linda J. Lemaster, from Gaffney, SC said she had just left another slot to let her husband play when she bet her last $3. It was just after 1:30 am and Linda said she was looking forward to returning to her hotel room and getting some shut-eye. Then…”I felt like I was going to pass out” stated the winner. “I was in shock”. Future plans include a new home for her son, daughter-in-law and grandson along with a sizeable contribution to her church. Lonnie Marline Bowling, a retired, disabled minister from Sylacauga, AL paused to consider the circumstances of his newfound wealth.
“I just had a feeling”, said the 49 year-old about the weekend trip he and his wife had planned to Beau Rivage Resort & Casino. While his wife was feeling ill, she encouraged him to keep their plans on his own—at least for one night so that he could make it home in time for the holiday on Sunday.
Then he hit a $3,087,462 jackpot on a new IGT Megabucks Video slots nickel progressive system. “I had a dream that I won $33,000 on a slot machine last week and I felt that luck was right around the corner”, Bowling said, acknowledging that the sleep induced vision led him to seek out one of the new Megabucks video slots progressive machine. “At least I had the ‘threes’ right”. After the five-hour drive from his northern Alabama home and playing $200 on the nickel denomination machine for another two hours, Bowling was feeling tired and hungry and nearly stopped playing, but the dreams wouldn’t let him leave.
Corrine Powers, 67 may soon be an ex-teacher and just enjoy life with her husband and family thanks to a $1,676,000 jackpot on a dollar Wheel of Fortune machine at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino. After only $40 in play, she said, “When I realized that I won the big jackpot, I thought I was pretty low key, but then someone asked me where I work, and I couldn’t remember!” Powers said. “I guess I was more excited that I realized. I love Wheel of Fortune and since I live near the Suncoast, I usually play one particular bank of machines here”, “I really enjoy coming here because the people are so friendly”. Buying a boat is part of the future for this Las Vegas resident. “I’m lucky here at the Horizon,” said Marin. “I have won a couple of jackpots, but never anything like this one”. Cesar Marin was still in shock with his millionaire status after hitting a Wheel of Fortune $5 MegaJackpot for $2,948,093 at the Horizon Resort Casino in Lake Tahoe.
The winner from Sacramento, CA played the $5 machine for about 15 minutes before his huge payday. “I knew right away that I hit the big jackpot, but, I’m still in shock,” said Marin, who with his brother Jose owns and operates a concrete company. He further stated that he treats his parents to trips to Lake Tahoe often. "Life has certainly changed in an instant with this huge jackpot,
but I will try to invest the money wisely. I’ll just have to let all this set in before I decide. I do know that I’m going to help out my family”.
