One couple from Eastvale, California, is back at work this week after winning a whopping $4,178,889 at Pechanga Resort Casino early Sunday morning, April 13.
The husband and wife decided Saturday to visit Pechanga to use some free play they had available, then stay the night. After dinner, they played a few games, then talked about getting back to their room for the night. The wife suggested her husband play Megabucks MegaVault for a few minutes before they turned in. He told casino staff he put $100 into the wide area progressive machine and played a few spins of three to five dollars each. Something told him to bet a bit bigger, so he played two $10 spins at the maximum bet level and on the second spin, he hit the Megabucks jackpot, instantly becoming a multimillionaire.
“I didn’t know we won at first. I thought I hit $230, but then the machine glass popped up the words saying, ‘Call Attendant,’ so I knew it had to be something bigger,” said the incredulous winner. “It hasn’t hit home yet. She was sitting right there with me. I thank God she told me to play it.”
The couple, who celebrated their wedding anniversary last month, said they’re not quitting their jobs following their windfall. Instead, they’ll assist their three adult children by helping them paying off some student loans and car payments. The couple said they’ve been enjoying coming to Pechanga Resort Casino for staycations since 2017 when they won a $17,000 slot jackpot.
Exactly one month earlier on March 13, a guest hit a $1,232,300 jackpot playing a Dragon Link slot machine at Pechanga.
