Borgata Casino Punter Hits $2.4M Jackpot

A woman from Hawthorne, New Jersey, has lived to see something happen to her that most other people don't even dare dream. Winning a massive jackpot with only one small amount of money as a wager seems like a very high improbability...

...And yet, if the stars align just right for you, it might happen as if it's the most normal thing in the world.

It's Raining Millions

As our sister-site, World Casino Directory (WCD) reports, the anonymous woman was visiting the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City over the weekend. While there, she took a spin on the Wheel of Fortune Double Sapphire Gold Spin slot about three in the afternoon. She placed a very modest $10 wager...

...and then she pulled the lever.

Once the reels stopped spinning, she couldn't believe her eyes when the figure of $2,481,940.75 got written on the screen; congratulations on her huge win!

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa took to social networks to share their joy with the lucky winner, by stating: “Talk about a way to end the summer! Just after 3pm yesterday, a Hawthorne, New Jersey woman hit the progressive jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune Double Sapphire Gold Spin game. She hit the jackpot on her very first spin, turning her $10 bet into $2,481,940.75! Congrats!”

Plenty to Play For

Jackpots are, of course, the gambling industry's pinnacle and the most desired thing in every amateur or professional gambler's mind. LCB has, of course, covered a lot of news regarding jackpots in the recent months...

...For those who missed it, in August we shared with you the good news of Mega Moolah progressive jackpot surpassing the $12 million mark – also, a very successful casino game developer, GameArt, is also commencing their very own progressive jackpot program, meaning there will be plenty of future wins we haven't heard about before!
